City Union Mission is a Kansas City-based nonprofit that provides shelter, meals, and a safe environment for people in poverty or experiencing homelessness in the metro area. Founded in 1924 by Rev. and Mrs. David Bulkley, the organization has a long-standing commitment to serving those in need. It operates without government funding and is not affiliated with United Way, relying entirely on gifts from individuals, churches, groups, foundations, and businesses. With a workforce described as mid-sized for a nonprofit, the mission focuses on delivering basic support and pathways toward stability. Its work centers on addressing urgent basic needs while collaborating with community partners to help neighbors in distress. In 2023, City Union Mission introduced a GAP Year program aimed at preparing low-income and disadvantaged young adults for college or vocational pursuits.
