Union Gospel Mission Hosts Community Easter Dinner

  • Wednesday, April 17, 2019

The Union Gospel Mission of Chattanooga will host its annual free Community Easter Dinner on Sunday from 1-3 p.m., or until the food runs out.

It will be held on the front lawn of the Bessie Smith Cultural Center, 200 E. M.L. King Blvd. 

The Union Gospel Mission will be providing a free Easter meal consisting of ham, potatoes, green beans, corn, roll, dessert, and tea. 

"This is our fourth year of serving a community meal specifically on Easter Sunday,” said UGM Executive Director Rev. Jon Rector.  “The Union Gospel Mission has been serving Chattanooga and the Tri-State area for over 68 years and this is just one of the ways we do that.  What I love is the amount of volunteers, local churches, and so many others who pitch in to truly make this a success. What better way to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ than to share His love with others?” 

The Union Gospel Mission, Chattanooga’s oldest homeless organization, is dedicated to serving the homeless and needy of Chattanooga and the Tri-State area by providing physical, social, and spiritual resources; to meet the true needs of its clients. 

For more information please contact Jon Rector via email:  mail@theuniongospelmission.org or call the office at 752-4998.
