Union Gospel Mission is gearing up for "Operation Overcoat" a huge clothing give away for the homeless and people in need.

Operation Overcoat will take place on Saturday, September 26 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. The event takes place in front of the Mission on NW Third Ave., and also expanded to NW Couch Street. The event includes live music from Justin Klump, Nathan Arnold, Aria Anaforian, Laura McGreevy and the SPO dancers. Union Gospel Mission will be serving a barbeque meal of burgers and hot dogs.
