Donate your new or gently used clothing to the Olympia Union Gospel Mission's clothing bank! We always need men's jeans and men's and women's underwear. Drop-off items M-F, 9-5 at 413 Franklin St & A Avenue NE (the drop-off door faces A Ave). Thank you.

Yes, we actually need new or gently used blankets in this hot weather! Our shelter desperately needs to be able to provide a blanket and mat for those who are sleeping overnight.

Richard lived a life of addiction until faced with going to jail or rehab. He chose rehab at the Olympia Union gospel Mission's Men's Life Transformation Program. He found freedom from addiction and experienced forgiveness and grace through Jesus Christ.

If you know someone who needs help or you would like to support this vital ministry, please visit our website www,OUGM.org for information or to donate. Thank you.

We worry about so many things, but God is in control of everything. Rest in Him.

God always hears us when we pray!

We're calling on our amazing community to help provide new or gently used blankets in single and double sizes, washable, and medium-weight for our night shelter.

After an incredible 13 years of dedication and hard work at the Olympia Union Gospel Mission, Lenore is now stepping into a new chapter with a well-deserved change of pace. But don't think for a second she's slowing down! Lenore's energy and passion are unstoppable, and she's still bringing her infectious spirit to the Mission as a volunteer. We're all cheering her on and wishing her nothing but the best in this exciting new adventure. Keep shining, Lenore!

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage, dedication, and love for this nation will never be forgotten.

Let us take a moment to reflect on their heroism and express our deepest gratitude. We owe them our freedom and the lives we cherish every day.
