It's an exciting time! Union Gospel Mission has selected Todd Hess Building Co., as the contractor for a complete re-build of the Union Gospel Mission's main floor including a complete remodel of the kitchen. The "old Mission" refers to the building that Union Gospel Mission has occupied since 1937 at 15 NW Third Ave. The old building is connected to the LifeChange Center, and is located at 3 NW Third Ave.
The project entirely redesigns the ground floor of the old Mission by constructing a new enlarged commercial kitchen, upgrading the dining room, adding 1st floor food storage and refrigeration, upgrading the ADA restroom that is made available to the homeless, remodeling the contact booth and clothing room, and replacing a fire exit. This final phase completes the combined LifeChange Center new construction and old Mission remodel at 3rd and Burnside. The project is set to begin in mid-June.
As you can see, its a huge undertaking! We are half way to our goal for the cost of this project, plus we will maintain the same level of meal service during the remodel, which will nearly double the cost of providing meals.
