Needs Met. Lives Transformed.

Serving Our City’s Homeless & Hurting

Since 1924, we’ve offered hope to men, women and children struggling with huge challenges. Homelessness. Addiction. Poverty.

We start by extending a welcoming hand and helping to meet their immediate needs – food, shelter, clothing.

From there, we offer them a new foundation for their lives through Christ – and life-changing programs that move them toward physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness.

Needs met. Lives transformed.

It’s only possible because of your support!

Make a Difference Now

Your generosity will help meet people’s immediate needs… and support them as they transform their lives through God’s love.

💙 Transformation in action!

We’re thrilled to welcome David Berg to our staff, a former resident, CLP graduate, and intern who has now joined the Mission team full-time. 

Pictured here with Josh, another resident-turned-staff member, David is part of something truly special: we now have two staff members who were once residents themselves. 🙌
Their stories are a powerful reminder of what’s possible when hope, faith, and support come together.

At City Union Mission, we’re celebrating 101 Years of Impact — and people like David and Josh show the lasting difference that your prayers, support, and generosity make every day.

We are grateful to our friends at FOX4 News Kansas City  for sharing our story. 🙏

For 101 years, City Union Mission has served as a place of hope for Kansas City’s homeless and hurting neighbors. But today, our legacy is at risk. Demand for shelter, meals, and recovery programs is at record levels while resources are running low.

That’s why we’ve launched the 101 Years of Impact Campaign, calling on Kansas City to help keep this century-long legacy alive. Together, we can make sure the Mission continues to be a place of hope for generations to come.

 ✨ Kevin — growing in faith, connected to his church, working, and thriving in permanent housing.
 ✨ Sam — persevering through challenges, volunteering, and moving into supportive housing.
 ✨ Gordon — living out his faith, working, and stepping into permanent housing.

Each of these men represents the heart of our Mission — lives renewed, strengthened, and transformed.

Today, we pause with heavy hearts to remember the lives lost on Patriot Day.

We hold in prayer the families, first responders, and communities forever touched by the events of September 11th. May we carry their memory in our hearts and reflect their courage through acts of kindness, compassion, and service in our own communities.

At City Union Mission, lives are being transformed every day. 

During a recent evening devotional, one of our residents made the decision to surrender their life to Jesus as Lord and Savior. 

This is the heart of our Mission, and one of the greatest fruits of the work God has called us to.

 For 101 years, He has been using this ministry to bring hope, healing, and eternal life to men, women, and children in Kansas City.
