  Sharing the Love of Jesus Christ:   Providing Hope - Building Lives

The Olympia Union Gospel Mission began its work with the homeless and the needy in November 1995 through a street ministry outreach to 25 or 30 people per week.  Something hot to eat and drink was offered in an atmosphere of love and acceptance.  Our goal was and still is to share God's love in practical ways. 

Today, the Olympia Union Gospel Mission has numerous programs.  Hundreds of men, women and children are served each week -- still sharing God's love in practical ways.  At the same time, we work to help individuals break the cycle of homelessness and poverty.

Meals, hygiene, and services are ways we reach out and make a difference in people's lives and in the community. Offering meals is one of the most powerful tools for sharing the Gospel with people in need, because the meals and services are a tangible expression of our love for Jesus Christ as we obey the Great Commandment and love others as we love God and ourselves (Luke 10:27).

Hot Meals:  Mon-Fri

Helping Change Our Society - One Person at a Time

The Olympia Union Gospel Mission is about people - like you and me - with one big difference the people we work with are homeless and poverty stricken.  One of the ways every one of us are alike, regardless of our status, is our need for dignity, self-worth and respect.

Our commitment is to respect each person we meet and to demonstrate God's love in practical ways.

There are many reasons why people become homeless and poor.  We do not judge their reasons.  Rather, we seek to help them find ways to become godly, productive members of our society.  In order for us to accomplish this task, many things must happen.  There must be a place where men, women, boys and girls feel safe and find they are loved and accepted as they are.
