Seattle's Union Gospel Mission is a mid-sized nonprofit in the field of individual and family services that serves the greater Seattle area. The organization began in 1932 as a response to the Great Depression, when the need to feed and care for vulnerable people was acute; its work has since grown to support thousands who are homeless or hurting each day. As a faith-based ministry, it seeks to convey care and hope to its homeless neighbors. Its approach combines addressing immediate physical needs with efforts to address underlying causes, through relationship-building and long-term recovery programs designed to restore dignity and help people pursue healthier, more stable lives. Located in Seattle, Washington, the organization carries a mandate to support those it serves as a community resource. In February 2019, the board appointed Scott Chin as president.
