“May 27, 2024—Josh smoked his last cigarette.”

After nearly 30 years of addiction, Josh found freedom—not through willpower alone, but through the grace of God and the compassionate care he received at City Union Mission.

Even in his struggle, he was welcomed, mentored others, and found encouragement—not judgment. 

One guest’s honest words sparked a turning point: “It’s hard to be inspired by someone still fighting the same fight.”

With prayer, a supportive team, and a step of faith, Josh let go of addiction and stepped into his new life.
This is what God’s love looks like in action—transforming brokenness into purpose.

👉 If you or someone you love is facing addiction or hardship, reach out.

 There’s a place for you at City Union Mission—where hope lives, healing begins, and no one walks alone.

#CityUnionMission #GraceInAction #FreedomInChrist #HopeLivesHere #TransformationStory #GodHeals #YouBelongHere #TestimonyTuesday
At City Union Mission, we see this truth lived out every day.

Many who walk through our doors come carrying the weight of brokenness—hurt, addiction, loss, or hopelessness. But in God’s hands, even the most shattered pieces can become part of a greater story.

Whether you’re someone who gives, serves, or has walked the journey yourself—you are part of that story.

Because healing happens when we show up for one another, not with perfection, but with compassion, humility, and hope.

God is using all of us—cracks and all—to bring light into the darkness.

This week, we’re lifting up the heart of our Mission—our incredible staff.

Behind every meal served, every bed made, every prayer offered, is a team of men and women who show up with compassion, strength, and unwavering dedication.

They are the hands and feet of Christ, creating peace, safety, and stability for our guests every single day.

To our staff: We see you. We thank you. We’re praying over you this week—asking God to renew your strength, fill your hearts, and bless the work you do.

Will you join us in covering them in prayer?

At City Union Mission, we believe everyone deserves compassionate, dignified care. That’s why we’re proud to serve men with greater mental health and physical challenges through our L. Minor Care Center.

This specialized shelter provides extra attention and support for those who need more than just a bed—it’s a place where healing, stability, and hope take root.

With the dedication of our incredible staff and the generosity of volunteers and donors like you, we're able to meet these men right where they are—with grace and respect.

Thank you for helping us continue this vital work.

It’s the little things that make a big difference.

To keep serving our guests with warmth, dignity, and nourishment, we’re currently in need of a few essential pantry items:
Oatmeal & grits (hearty breakfast staples)
Canned vegetables & fruit (for balanced, comforting meals)
Coffee (because hope starts with a hot cup and a kind word)

Every donation helps us continue the work of providing for the most vulnerable in our city—with compassion and consistency.

If you’re able to give, we’d be so grateful. Together, we can keep showing up with love—one meal at a time.

If you’d like to contribute, drop off coffee at our food warehouse located at 1020 E 10th St, Kansas City, MO 64106 or go to our Amazon wish list available on our website.

Happy Sunday, friends.

As we gather in prayer today—on this Pentecost Sunday—may your heart be filled with joy and expectation. Just like the Spirit moved powerfully in the early Church, God can move in any moment, even now.

This week, we’re lifting up a special group in prayer:
 Those who give.
 Those who serve.
 Those who show up with open hands and open hearts.

To our incredible volunteers—who pour out their mind, body, and soul to help carry the Mission forward—thank you. Your love makes a difference, and your sacrifice is seen.

Let’s pray together:
 Lord, cover them. Strengthen them. Bless them exceedingly and abundantly.
 Amen.

Will you join us in praying over these everyday heroes, empowered by the same Spirit that filled the upper room?

🎤 When your Director of Men’s Ministry has pipes and a praise-filled heart…

We’re a well-rounded bunch around here—serving with joy, faith, and apparently, some serious vocal talent too! 😄

Check out Stephen C. blessing us all with a hymn that’s as melodic as it is spirit-filled. Because at City Union Mission, we love to love on people—and sometimes that looks like a little unexpected worship break. 🎶

Last month, over 160 runners showed up with purpose and heart—making the event a huge success!

Because of you, we were able to raise meaningful funds to support our ongoing work right here in the city.

A huge thank you to everyone who ran, walked, volunteered, or cheered us on—and a special shoutout to Gusto Coffee for your generous partnership and belief in our mission.

When a community comes together, transformation happens.
