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!

Meet Larry, our Christian Life Program Case Manager at City Union Mission.
For nearly two years, Larry has coached men in recovery, walking alongside them, equipping them with the tools to succeed both in the program and in life.
Larry models what we call “strong love”: a balance of strength, compassion, and accountability. He challenges men when needed, creates space for trust and respect, and never gives up on those who struggle. His clients know he cares for them not just as program participants, but as people with value, dignity, and a future worth fighting for.
Outside of work, Larry is ambidextrous and enjoys playing all kinds of sports!
We are grateful for Larry’s unwavering dedication and the standard of excellence he sets every day. His impact on our Mission community is immeasurable.

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.

✨ Marvin — now self-managed, employed, and in his own apartment.
✨ 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.
