Mission: Christmas
Thanks to donors like you City Union Mission was able to deliver 16,317 gifts last year to homeless and income qualified familiies!
Christmas is coming. And just like in homes throughout the city, here at City Union Mission people are preparing wish lists...children are trying to behave...mothers and fathers are wondering how they will ever find the perfect gift for their children. That's where you come in.
We invite you to adopt a family that represents the families and individuals we'll serve this season. Select the family size you wish to "adopt," then simply purchase items from our recommended gift list shown below.
If you prefer you can make a donation toward their purchase. If you are interested in adopting a family or providing funds to have gifts purchased for a family please contact Dena at 816 474 9380 ext 1423 or dena@cumission.org to sign up.
- We ask that all gifts be new and unwrapped to allow staff to be able to assign gifts to families that are age and need appropriate
- We request that gifts be delivered to 1310 Wabash between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM Monday - Friday
- In order to allow time for separating and wrapping gifts we ask that they be delivered by December 13th
- If you would like to volunteer to wrap gifts, deliver gifts, or interview clients please contact the volunteer department at 816 474 9380 ext 1487
- You will receive a thank you from the family you adopt.
