Furniture Outlet provides great donation for Operation Overcoat
Furniture Outlet has been a great partner in helping Union Gospel Mission collect items for Operation Overcoat. Furniture Outlet co-owner Trudy Palo was kind enough to drop off two truckloads!!
Even though the big Operation Overcoat event is less than 48 hours away, there is still time to make a donation. Blankets, undergarments and hygiene items are still urgently needed. You can make a secure online donation at www.ugmportland.org or call 503-274-4483

Summer vacation
The LifeChange Recovery Community is taking a summer vacation to the Oregon Coast. Since the LifeChange community is continually busy running the Union Gospel Mission thrift store and handling services at the Mission the annual trip to the beach is an much needed break before the fall, which is the busiest time of year at Union Gospel Mission.
We hope all the friends of Union Gospel Mission are enjoying their summer as well!
