Thank you 509 Jumpers for helping to create core memories for the children in the Family Shelter!🙏🏼🙌🏼

The children residing in our shelter are just like other kids - they want to have fun, feel safe and experience love.
What may look like just a water day for some, is a day where a family can finally let their guards down and experience life just like you and I. So thank you 509 Jumpers for your generosity and kindness 🩵

At Yakima Union Gospel Mission, we follow Christ by helping our neighbors move from homelessness toward wholeness. Through this new mini-series, we’re inviting you behind the scenes to meet the people who make our mission possible and witness the life-changing impact happening throughout the Yakima Valley every day. ❤️

Stay tuned as we introduce more members of our team and share inspiring stories of hope, transformation, and renewed purpose.

You’ve braved the cold with us — now it’s time to face the heat.☀️

Join us for the inaugural Hot for a Cause 5K, a summer run/walk benefiting Yakima Union Gospel Mission and the men, women, and children in our community who endure dangerous summer temperatures without shelter, safety, or support.

Hosted at the same venue as our beloved Cold for a Cause, this event brings awareness to a different side of homelessness in the Yakima Valley: surviving the intense heat of summer. While many of us seek air conditioning and relief, thousands of vulnerable individuals face long days and sleepless nights exposed to the elements.

Every registration helps provide shelter, meals, outreach, recovery services, and hope to neighbors experiencing homelessness and hardship.

Whether you run, walk, or cheer others on, you’re making a difference for those who face the heat every day.

Summer in Yakima is beautiful, but for many in our community, the heat is a daily struggle. Finding shade and shelter isn't a comfort, it's survival.

Join us August 8th for YUGM's first Hot for a Cause 5K, as we run for those who are out in the heat ☀
Your support helps the mission move forward with meals, shelter, and recovery.

All paces welcome, just show up and run with purpose!

We are grateful to be able to reflect on the pieces of history that has brought YUGM to where it is today!
