Union Gospel Mission is pleased to have Russ Silver join the Union Gospel Mission staff. Russ will be the Homeless Services and Outreach Coordinator. Although Russ is a new staff member, he is not new to Union Gospel Mission.

Russ graduated from Union Gospel Mission’s LifeChange addiction recovery program in February 2006. While in LifeChange Russ underwent an amazing transformation- Click here to read about Russ's LifeChange journey. (Russ is pictured at left at his LifeChange graduation, with fellow LifeChange grad turned staff member, Dave White) Shortly after graduating, Russ volunteered and spent a year in Biloxi, Mississippi helping to repair the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. During his volunteer experience he met Barbara, a fellow volunteer from Missouri. They married and are now expecting a baby boy on May 1^st.

Russ’s role at Union Gospel Mission will include working collaboratively with LifeChange residents to provide services to the homeless more effectively by building relationships, helping the homeless to find resources and helping those on the edge of homelessness. Russ will also be involved in expanding the Mission services beyond the Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood.

We are very grateful for Russ and his heart to help LifeChange residents and the homeless!
