Because of the scope of what friends like you help us do at URM, everyday is a big event. From life transformation programs, to medical centers, to legal aid clinics, to kids programs….we do it all thanks to you.
Please take a moment to view Rev. Andy’s January End of the Month Update and consider a gift today. We can’t do this work without you.
June has been a month full of celebration. We held a luncheon event to honor some friends of Union Rescue Mission, and we celebrated with 17 men as they graduated from a Life Transformation program. Unfortunately, it was also a month of tough decisions.
I hope you will please take a moment to watch this video and catch up on what’s happening here at URM. Thank you so much for your continued support.
It’s hard to believe March is already here – this year is going by so quickly! Things are remaining busy at URM and Hope Gardens. To hear about all the happenings this past month, please click above to watch the February update.
While the need for URM’s services has increased, our giving has dropped. If you are able to give a gift of any size, please consider donating to us today. We are grateful for your support.
Blessings,
Andy Bales, CEO

March has been both an exciting and difficult month at URM. Last weekend we hosted our bi-annual Box Outreach, with over 300 volunteers distributing care boxes to those living in hotels. Unfortunately, this month also marked the first time we have had to lay off employees and cut back on costs due to the economy.
We hope that you will consider us and our neighbors on Skid Row more than ever during these hard times; we cannot continue to provide our services to those who need it most without your generous support. Thank you.
February has been a busy month for us at URM. We hope you will take a moment to watch this video for exciting highlights on the events and challenges, including photos of our Hearts for Hope Fashion Show honoring Paris Hilton.
When you support us and share our message with others, you are helping to provide a better life for those who may otherwise be living on the streets of LA. We cannot do what we do without you.
As we come to the end of the month, we would like to share just a few of the activities that have been keeping us busy here at URM! From serving record numbers of people, to running winter shelters to planning a special event for our guests, the last few weeks have been action packed. Please take a moment to watch this quick update on what we are accomplishing with the help of friends like you!
