Union Gospel Mission To Serve Over 400 Meals For Thanksgiving

  • Monday, November 25, 2024
The Union Gospel Mission will be serving Thanksgiving dinners this Wednesday to unhoused neighbors from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. on the front lawn of the Bessie Smith Cultural Center, 200 E. MLK Blvd. There will be tables and chairs available on the lawn for guests to sit and eat. Volunteers are needed to help serve.   
 
“With the help of our community, we expect to serve about 400 warm Thanksgiving meals and share donated clothing and toiletries and provide backpacks,” said Rev. Jon Rector, executive director of The Union Gospel Mission.
“We know there are many in need this year of a warm meal and clothing. We are ready to serve and have faith that folks will step up to donate.” 
 
The Union Gospel Mission needs your help with donations of monetary support and supplies. Gallon sized baggies filled with toiletries, gloves, socks and snacks are needed to distribute to the unhoused community. Monetary support can be given by visiting www.theuniongospelmission.org or by mail to PO Box 983, Chattanooga, Tn., 37401. In kind resources can be brought to The Union Gospel Mission at 124 Signal Hills Blvd. in Chattanooga.  Gift cards to Walmart and Food City are also accepted.
