History:
Union Gospel Mission Ministries, a member of the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, was established in Spokane, Washington, in 1951 as a non-profit, Christian relief and rehabilitation agency. What began as a simple "soup kitchen" has evolved into a 24 hours-a-day, seven days-per-week social service agency whose purpose is to provide for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people in crisis.
The Union Gospel Mission conducts its programs with a Christian, evangelistic purpose. The Articles of Incorporation state: "Our aim is not free meals, but freed persons; not free beds, but freed beings." The Mission operates with the belief that lasting rehabilitation occurs as spiritual issues are resolved.

Youth outreach/Tshimakain creek camp founded in 1992. Classy Rack thrift store founded in 2001. UGM Motors auto donation, repair, and re-sell program founded in 2004.
