Volunteer
Volunteering is compassion in action
Volunteering with Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission is more than a service opportunity. It's the chance to give hope, healing, and life-saving help. It's about changing lives forever. It's about seeing God's love in action. Whether serving a meal, providing mentorship, sorting donated items, or any other volunteer experience with the Mission, your presence makes a deep impact on what we do and on our homeless neighbors.
