Union Gospel Mission of Yakima Wash

Care center services: medical clinic: delivering almost 12,000 patient visits annually, the medical clinic provides medical care to the uninsured, underinsured and underserved valued at $2.5 million. Compassionate providers offer care that goes beyond urgent care to promoting healing, prevention, and education. Dental clinic: the dental clinic works with over 30 volunteer dentists to provide exemplary care to uninsured adults who cannot otherwise afford services, delivering almost 5,500 patient visits annually with a $1 million market value of provided care.

Meal services in the good news cafe: each day yugm's main kitchen serves a total of 500600 meals to those below the federal poverty line. In fy23 over 125,000 meals were served and they include meals to our adult shelter clients, outreach client, respite rooms, recovery services clients and family shelter clients. Through initial contact in meal services, yugm staff can then connect clients with other Mission program offerings or community partner services.

Adult & family shelter operations:shelters (adult & family): providing over 31,000 bed nights each year (including over 4,900 nights for 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 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 traumainformed engagement. As trust is gradually established, many choose to come into shelter.

Warehouse: program distribution & recycling:program distribution: 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, program distribution is where we meet our client needs. Recycling center: the recycling center generates revenue from unusable donated items and recycling material donations to help pay for the cost of running program distribution.

Madison house youth center: 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 fiscal year 2022. While recruiting a potential program for the space, the Mission did not use madison house for any programming and deployed employee time only for minimal maintenance of the facility.

Recovery services: 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 indepth recovery program.new life (phase 2): eightythree 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 910 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 reinvest in the program for others coming behind them.

Yugm thrift stores:the yugm family of thrift stores has grown, generating enough revenue to fully cover all of Yakima Union Gospel Mission's administrative costs and much of its fundraising expenses.
