News - Day of Service

Thank you to our over 210 volunteers who helped to make the 2021 Day of Service’s 12 projects a success! In just a few hours, you made or assembled 150 meals for the Welcome Table, 18 travel systems (baby car seat and stroller) for WestSide Baby, 22 no-sew hats and 400 pb&j sandwiches for Union Gospel Mission, 4 snuffle mats for Seattle Humane Society, 110+ day-brightening cards for Kidz, 41 rosaries, 20+ prayer cards, and 70+ cards for OLG ministries, and 75+ hygiene kits for our neighbors on the streets. In addition, we helped 3 food banks provide for those in need and helped at 3 area parks and the OLG garden. Folks at home assembled nearly 100 Homebound Kits, Lunches of Love, Mary's Place baskets, and knitted hats for babies joining OLG families. A HUGE THANKS to our planning team and to all our project leads. It is amazing to see what we can do when we all work together!

Save the date! The 2021 Day of Service is Saturday, April 24. Over the next couple months, we will feature project sites. There is something for everyone! Help the Union Gospel Mission serve those who are hungry in our community by preparing sandwiches for the Search and Rescue Team. This team goes out, day and night, 365 days a year, to search out and find those who are living on the streets, hungry, and hurting. They meet them with essential supplies to make it through another day and night and invite them inside. Sandwich-making will take place on the OLG campus and is open to anyone 10 or older.
