Union Gospel Mission serves Christmas meals to Vancouver community members
Thousands attend 1st indoor Thanksgiving meal at UGM since start of pandemic
“Christmas symbolizes love and connection,” Dean Kurpjuweit said, Union Gospel Mission’s new president. “I’m honoured to be here for this incredible Christmas meal that infuses joy into the community and lets people know that they matter and belong here.” The non-profit charity said it’s important for the community to hold these types of events during the holiday season, as it can be a tough time of year with heightened levels of isolation and loneliness.
The Union Gospel Mission provides emergency shelter, meals, outreach, career development counselling, education, safe and affordable housing, and addiction recovery to those struggling with poverty, homelessness and addiction.
