Called out of the blue… man I spoke with, gave me hope. I will be there ASAPI was needing his kindness and GOD provided

Great place, fine programs, good out reach services. I lived there for at least 18 months; it was longer than usual due to the Covid-19 out break, but they really looked out for us and our safety! Praise the Lord God for them.

Im not too familiar with it but as far as I know it its a good place the guys like you and I havent heard anything bad about the place so far I have people down here 🙂🙂🙂

Got a free meal once before covid.

If you join a program they will take care of you. Showers, hygiene supplies, full meals, huge lockers that can hold a lot of belongings, a bunk bed, bus passes....etc, you name it.I showed up with nothing but ambition and I left as a sharper man with a great job. There are some sharp individuals who join the link program like I did so dont feel ashamed for receiving help.

I can’t thank enough for the gospel mission to provide shelter for my father who passed away recently this past Christmas. He was very grateful of the shelter he was able to receive every night after working hard everyday. Thank you!

Im sure I could write a book about the life changing experiences Ive been blessed to have at this wonderful organization. TEN STARS is not enough. Believe me when I say that regardless of the mess on the outside of the downtown shelter the lord resides on the inside.

Great place that changes lives and meets peoples needs.

Joining a program was great and helped me get back on my feet. I was in the link program that helped me a place to stay and save up enough money to get my own place. The welcome center staff is awesome and always willing to listen and provide decent advice. It has been couple months now and since being in the link program it helped me a great deal. Now I am doing well at my job, able to pay rent and keep up with bills and save money. Luke palmer and ben Graves, and Richard McAdams he was amazing the only one who helped me with my debt and getting back on track and he really cared, Darren and Mike in the kitchen are amazing also they are good people to talk with., and Manny and Luke for helping me get into the program.Thanks again for everything. Now I am stable have a decent job and making enough to pay rent and and bills at my old place.

PROS:Beds are readily available.The food is not bad at all.Flexible schedule, especially those who work early mornings.The afternoon staff is pretty nice.CONS:No shower facilities for the bed guests. In most homeless shelters, showers are usually mandatory before bed (I had to go to the other side of downtown Seattle to take a shower).Limited supply of blankets, which are thin it doesnt cover the entire body.The environment is very hostile, almost an ghetto type feel.The overnight staff can be pretty rude and standoffish.Bugs are crawling in the sleeping area during the night.

I Used to Be in Their Program Back in 79 and 89’s And I also Was a Resident There! About a Decade Or so Later. I Had dinner There! Wasn’t very good and The Table Seats were Broken!

I believe this place does the best they can given the area. Thank you for the food and such. However, it seems like people needing help dont really have the option. Online it said 1 or 3 month program to help with substance issues. The brochure I was handed said the same. However I was given a time frame of a year or more. Thank you again for what you are able to do for us. its a real blessing!

Great organization. They offer wonderful service to the needed.Day after day no expectations.Many people for any reasons that fell into to social crack and they give people a chance to get back on their feet

Im living there temporary.

I was here a year ago and they helped kept me fed and a place to rest my head. It may look rough but its only rough your trying to be tuff. Kitchen volunteer are awesome for helping out. Much thanks to the other restaurants that come here and help to keep everyone fed. Im very grateful for them AMEN to the staff and volunteer s

You will see many, many people but you have to be relax the place is secure and the people is so nice. The place is great because it helps to anyone, everybody is welcome, you will find a warm place, breakfast, lunch and dinner and a place for sleeping too. This place has good kitchen because it is clean and the service is fast, sometimes you will find a variety of food. This is a very important place for anybody, the place really really help. Even you will find, many programs for helping the people, such as photography, child support, bus transfers, clothes, shoes, etc... Everybody is welcome as invited as volunteer too.

Did some volunteer work here, and theyre doing good work. They are rather religious however and thats kinda a turn away for me. I wish them luck and was happy to have helped when I did.

These people are making a difference! Seriously dedicated individuals who have a heart for the homeless. Their message of hope and caring, coupled with bringing the love of Jesus, is helping people get their lives back. Funded solely from private donations, they dont receive any public money.

I appreciate the help and support. A place to stay and eat, but the bedbugs are killing me. I cant stay every night because I be scratching all day. I went for a job interview and three crawled out my bag EMBARRASSING. No showers.

A reliable institution which has hearty meals daily, and overnight stays with cots for the homeless. I stayed here the first nights I was homeless in Seattle. I recommend not arriving very late, as the overflow is offered chairs, for which I was grateful but a bit uncomfortable; still safer than the street. Thanks, UGM.

It would be 5. The link program is full and I have a job and is drug free. Im on a waiting list, i was upset when i was told there were no spots left. Guys that have been there over there 6mo to a year time are still there. I just dont think its fair to the ones that are working and drug free to wait on people who get an extended stay and not working to get themselves out of homelessness. There are people who are in the link program that arent doing anything no job just helping out. Now I have to fill out late slips to come in late because I work evenings. All in all Im blessed to have a job and God has a plan for me. He sees my struggle and will never put more on me than I can bare Ill be patintewith it because i know that he will work things out for me. A positive Im not on the streets mission please help.me out Im a good guy that fell on hard times.

The UGM of Seattle is a big deal, a blessing to have in the city of Seattle, between the staff, volunteers, and program men the UGM is full of heart and soul!!!

We serve food here every year around Christmas. I appreciate the good work they do.

Union Gospel gives out more and goes above and beyond and people dont realize that, we get so spoiled with the extra amenities that is given to us, and in turn becomes expected everyday from them. When they dont need to do anything for us. There hospitality, the breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. They have cots for the homeless if need to get out of weather. If you ask me they are a lot of heart of Seattle and people take advantage of that too much for What Little they have they fork out a lot for the nothing we have.

Spend a few years in and out helped a lot

Its a rehab center. It aint pretty but it serves a vital purpose to an ignored population. As welcoming as such a place can be. One only gets out of a program what one puts into a program. They also go out on rescue patrols in vans!

As an outsider, the streetscape in a block radius from this mission is a scary place. Had to get away after being accosted several times because of a subsequent rogue mist of pepper spray. Thats not the Missions fault, but the Mission is much the focus of people hanging around. Idk if itd help to have police visibly posted here, but there wasnt when I was waiting 10min for a bus across the street.The mission does invaluable humanitarian work. My take is from just 10min of being nearby.

Our youth group had a wonderful experience serving at Hope Place and with the Mens shelters Search and Rescue team. You can tell that they care about the homeless and their ministry is so important. What struck me the most was how many of the people leading the different ministries were men and women who had gone through the programs themselves. This should be a testament to the great work that the UGM does and the transformational power of the Love of Jesus Christ. I am honored to have been a (small) part of it, even if only for a very short time. God Bless.

Good place to get a couple nights rest they got bed bugs and u gotta be on your guard

Free food, all u can eat, if you there on time, become a fly on the wall and ur bad day will automatically be filled with joy. So much entertainment.

Well this place had helped me in the past when I had nowhere to sleep nor eat. I stop by there every once in awhile and if I got a little change or pizzas to hand out and words of encouragement to the new homeless ones. I give them the important knowledge on where to get the right help and how to slowly but surely get back on there feet. The place could use alot of work but it is what it is it helps alot of people to be fed and safe...

Great community resource location. With helpful staff.

It is a very good place to find a good start in life you will have people that will help you

Rob and joe are firm but treat you like a person vs some of the volunteers who have the demeanor of not wanting to be there lol. 3hots and a cot free, treatment and transitional for the clean and sober

Good place for a cot and a hot, but needs some showers or some air fresheners. God bless you guys!

Except for the little man power thrusting in the front about me sitting on my rolling walker of all things the place was wonderful as always the food is good folks are nice it is easy to see the Christ in your Christian walk

It was an experience was there for one night next morning u wake up then you line up for breakfast but only one egg and sausage and a class of water then out on the streets u go with really nothing to do.🤔

The people here choose to be here, they are called to serve others and do what they can to help transform the lives of those in greatest need, each and every day. It may not always look the prettiest or be the quietest but it’s where you go when you need someone to just love on you, when you need a way out, a way up, it’s where you go when you are ready to start a new life.

Great resource. Could be better though. And its faith based

I work in a thrift shop across the street but know very little about the shelter. The clients I see from there are well-behaved with very little money. I like working with them.

I worked on the staff here and the place is awesome! Did work for breakfast, lunch, chapel and I will continue to go back. I praise the Lord for this shelter and pray more like this would be started.

The recovery program is excellent. People who are there have the opportunity to enhance their lives. I have seen positive growth and recovery through this program.

Reliable, hot breakfast every morning if your hungry!

A place to get out of the streaks and get sobriety and spirituality and a decent meal when youre hungry

Dirty, no shower facility, staff are not very helpful

Their concept is ok but emergency vehicles are here every day as well as cops. A lot of crazy stuff happens down here though.. But they do try and I will give them that.

I always pass here on my way to work and people here are peaceful.

This is a food place to get some food or get help if your struggling with addiction. I volunteer here. Faith based help...

Needs new funding, its great they have places like that but with as much money as there is in Seattle it should be allot nicer.

They only care about you if you don’t do anything. Someone I knew was here and since she went to school, they kicked her out because of that. She didn’t do anything bad and because she was late signing a paper since she was in school. They let her go plus they yelled at her and was mean. It’s an ok program if they can control you.

Wonderful organization that is meeting people where they are. Loved serving with the team and seeing the hands and feet of Jesus at work in Seattle.

Great place to go if your on the streets and need a safe place to eat or sleep for men

Its a decent place to sleep if your homeless.

Didnt know that they had cameras outside my car was running hot so 1 of the workers came out and talked with me about it and I thank him and later he came back to see if I was ok. #1GospelMission

This place is a saving Grace for many, and I am Greatful that it exists

They can lend a hand if you need one

Top shelf a very clean environment if you need a safe Godly place to go this is it food shelter clothing

Very helpful and useful program for low income people

In can better, building needs to be retrofitted. Lack of safety both puplic and resident.

LOVE IT! great people. great love. good food. fun times. nice

Its great place for homeless people theyre come to Seattle from out of state great place to be great food great service if you sober rehabitation from alcohol and drugs has the right place to be

No thank you. Homophobic, prejudiced against trans folks. Horrible place.

Good place to do volunteer work. They need help on weekdays with meal service.

Sad place. Uncertainties. Felt sick being here.

Lol.. what a joke.Hope I win the lottery.will not donate a single dime to this place. Stopped by on Christmas day to try for blankets and was told no.Couldnt get any nowhere in Seattle tried everywhere.All the sleeping bags where given out to all the old Asian ladies, that live inside.Seattle sucks went back to my camp cold and hungry just like an American veteran does in this place.

Nice

Help for people looking to change their life. Needs allot of improvements on cleanliness.

Great place to sleep and relax great staff and food here

Discrimination and racial favoritism within the program but I am still grateful because I learned a lot

The UGM is a scam.. Those people should be ashamed of themselves.. Telling people they help the homeless.. What I saw was a bunch of unmotivated people at the desk.. It smelled like ass and feet throughout the whole building.. Outside all I saw were drug dealers lined up drinking and smoking weed trying to sell harder drugs to addicts. Its a joke down there. I wouldnt stay 1 night in that place!! And if you donate to this place I suggest you reconsider.. They already receive part of your taxes every year due to their Govt funding. If you think Im beefing this review up go see that dump for yourself!! There are way better places in Seattle.. 211 is the # you want to dial.. That will give you all the info for shelters youll need.

Dont recommend anybody at the UGM because best fights and the staff dont break it up or they dont care the staff there is very rude they are getting into fights with people its not safe there for anybody definitely dont bring kids to the UGM

Union Gospel Mission does an incredible job of helping people in need

Very dirty, poor service and simply all around awful 😣

Fair service super helpful always firm but fsir ferless yet humble...alvin is amazing human helped me locate some troubled friends and family

Helpful place if youre homeless, but they should have security and weed out a lot of the trouble makers.

They werent letting anybody in!

Good place to eat when hungry,Good place to sleep when needed

Are you serious Patrick? Did you know that that garbage, as you call it could be you one of these days? Do you not have any compassion whatsoever? It is people like you who are garbage and not thinking how that homeless person feels about being on the street. You could be there too. Just remember that homeless people are people too

Vey nice techs working at Doney Animal Clinic.

They do their best to help.our neighbors without an address.

Keep helping people my pastor would say

The vets are awesome every 2cnd and 4th Saturday of the month from 12:00pm to 3 pm

Homeless shelters are a blessing and UGM has been doing this service for a long time.

Ambulance came every day to take someone away who was in a fight. No one was ever kicked out for fighting. Stay away, far, far away.

Christians loving and helping everyone they can

Union Gospel Mission staff are great for working day and night to help the homeless men in Seattle. This is not an easy job, and the people who works at UGM has stepped up to the plate to give their support to help the homeless crisis in Seattle.

I love these ppl.

They have help the city of Seattles less fortunate for many many years :) God bless you; Union gospel mission

Daily mealsite for homeless or anyone who needs a free meal. The hours of service is for one hour not sure the time for breakfast but lunch is 12:30-1:30 and dinner is 5:30-6:30 except sunday lunch. Its not a very nice place in or outside areas but free meals help anyone in need.

Terrific Doney Animal Clinic

The worst place for a shelter. Staff are rude & there is no discipline there at all. And the dont house families or couples.

They offer meals to anyone hungry

Beautiful place to check out wonderful marble work

When your down & out with no place to go, this place is just what the doctor ordered. I think you have to be in by a certain time though.

They do important work for people in a tough

Food sucks and not enough resources in Seattle in general

Free food, scary atmosphere.

The place is dirty and the staff appear to be judgemental of others struggling against the issues off Homelessness. The only way to get help from them is believing and practicing their ideas of religion. Very sad.

Whenever I needed help and/or prayer this was the place I went 😜

Im grateful for all that the UGM do.
