A massive increase in need

At Union Rescue Mission, we will never turn away a woman or family looking for shelter.

Right now, the number of families with children devastated by homelessness on Skid Row is exploding. The latest numbers show a massive increase of 111% over this time last year.

That's why we need your help now to prepare for the crowds who will come to Union Rescue Mission for a hot meal, shelter, and a chance for a new life this Christmas.

When you give $2.54 this Christmas, your gift will DOUBLE to provide meals to TWO hurting neighbors devastated by homelessness. Will you give today?

A little girl's greatest wish

Kim loves to go into the gym at Union Rescue Mission to play with her hula hoop. A smile fills her face as she swishes her hips. But there is a tinge of sadness too.

"A year ago, we were living in a house," Kim says of her family. "Now I live in a shelter."

Kim lives at Union Rescue Mission with her mom, brother, and sisters.

But she has hope that someday their lives will change. "I hope I will move into a house for all my family. That will make me happy," she says.

Your gift to provide meals will DOUBLE

The holidays can be more painful for kids like Kim and their families devastated by homelessness. Instead of joy, they feel loss.

Please give now to DOUBLE your gift, up to $500,000, through a Matching Challenge Gift, and help more hurting families escape the streets and find their way home.

Your generosity will help give families hope for Christmas, and the chance they need to make a new start.
