The White House recognized what our community already knew.
On January 14th, 1993, Union Gospel Mission was recognized by President George H. W. Bush with the Daily Point of Light Award, honoring organizations making a meaningful impact in their communities.
In recognizing UGM, President Bush said, “We must not allow ourselves to be measured by the sum of our possessions or the size of our bank accounts. The true measure of any individual is found in the way he or she treats others—and the person who regards others with love, respect, and charity holds a priceless treasure in his heart.”
More than three decades later, those words continue to reflect the heart of our mission as we serve our neighbors with love, dignity, and the hope of the Gospel.
