Union Gospel Mission of Yakima Wash

Care center programs: delivering almost 9,500 patient visits annually, the medical clinic provides medical care to the uninsured, underinsured and underserved valued at $2.375 million. Our medical staff and volunteers also made over 400 visits to our shelter clients. Compassionate providers offer care that goes beyond urgent care to promoting healing, prevention, and education. The dental clinic works with up to 30 volunteer dentists to provide exemplary care to uninsured adults who cannot otherwise afford services, delivering over 800 patient visits annually with close to $150,000 market value of provided care.

Meal services: each day yugm's main kitchen serves a total of 400-500 meals to those below the federal poverty line. In fiscal year 2022 over 141,000 meals were served (in addition to another 27,500 sandwiches made available in our shelter) which is valued at over $888,000. Through initial contact in food service programs, yugm staff can then connect clients with other Mission program offerings or community partner services.

Adult and family shelter operations: providing 36,000 bed nights each year (which includes 3,592 nights for homeless children), yugm emergency shelters seek to be more than a warm bed but a compassionate refuge from life on the streets. Men, women, couples and families in crisis receive lodging, case management and access to additional Mission resources; such as vocational education, addiction recovery services, job placement assistance, and housing placement assistance.street outreach: every day compassionate staff and volunteers reach out to those living on the streets and who are unwilling to come into safe shelter. Responding to businesses and traveling across the city and along the river those living in unsheltered homelessness become known and experience consistent care and trauma-informed engagement. As trust is gradually established, many choose to come into shelter.

Warehouse program distribution & recycling: yugm is using its warehouse distribution space to supply the adult shelter, family shelter, and residential programs with the supplies they need to care for clients. Additionally, they have created a "shopping" experience so clients that are moving off campus into housing can come select the items they need to furnish and outfit their new units. From household goods to clothing to hygiene items, the warehouse distribution is where we meet our client needs. The recycling center generates revenue from unuseable donated items and recycling material donations to help pay for the cost of running program distribution.

Madison house youth center: serving 325 youth, 11,000 meals, and 7,700 tutoring sessions annually, madison house fills students' out-of-school hours with tutoring, athletics, art opportunities, bible studies, summer camps and nightly meals while connecting them to caring adult mentors. More than a safe place to be; it's a place to belong. This program was discontinued in late fy 2022.

Recovery programs: our 1- to 2-year residential recovery services incorporate 3 program phases: - discovery (phase 1): this program phase provides a first step out of emergency shelter and into stabilization. Discovery gives a client a safe place to test the desire for change, learning how to live in community prior to going into an in-depth recovery program. - new life (phase 2): eighty-three percent of new life program participants continue to be sober for one year following graduation. This program phase is for men and women willing to commit 9-10 months to achieve lasting life changes. This transformational experience provides case management, counseling, an intensive relapse prevention process, and a supportive community of peers, volunteers and staff. The journey utilizes spiritual guidance, emotional tools, life skill learning, and work therapy experiences to assist clients in overcoming addictions and trauma. Bridge (phase 3): the bridge program phase offers transitional support that helps clients make plans and connect to resources as they move forward from here to what comes next. Clients work one on one with case managers, participate in reaching growth goals related to legal and financial barriers, pursue learning in preparation for job readiness, and are assisted by yugm employees to develop relevant work experience and references. Many graduates, after moving back into community jobs and housing, return as volunteers to re-invest in the program for others coming behind them.

Lighthouse thrift: after much prayer and fasting, we made the decision to close our lighthouse thrift store on may 14, 2022, but only temporarily. The lord opened up a new building down the street from our main campus and the lighthouse was once again opened up on august 26, 2022. It is now the main location for donations coming from selah and terrace heights and it a centrally location for most of e Yakima. Volunteers, life change program participants and local job training agencies can use positions in our yugm thrift stores to develop job skills. Mission thrift : Mission thrift opened its doors in the summer of 2019 and took off running! Centrally located on 20th & lincoln, this store has become a local hot spot for both shopping and donating. With a large selection of name brand clothing, beautiful home decor, books, electronics, furniture and housewares, Mission thrift has something for everyone! Volunteers, life change program participants and local job training agencies can use positions in our yugm thrift stores to develop job skills. Summit thrift: summit thrift opened up june 2021 in the old rite aid location on 56th and summitview, next to safeway. This is our newest, largest thrift boutique store to support the work of Yakima Union Gospel Mission. Volunteers, life change program participants and local job training agencies can use positions in our yugm thrift stores to develop job skills. Irs policies require the value of donated items to be included in the expenses total listed below. When excluding these expenses, thrift generated $1,176,685 of excess revenue, all of which was used to offset Mission operational expenses.

Education & job readiness:education & job readiness helps students overcome significant barriers to employment such as a criminal record, lack of transportation or poor work history, and realize their own potential by developing the skills, knowledge and experience they need to succeed.
