City Union Mission

We’ve Been Here Since 1924

For over 100 years, City Union Mission has provided warm beds, nutritious food and a place of safety for thousands of men, women and children looking to overcome poverty and homelessness.

Founded by Rev. and Mrs. David Bulkley, one of their primary reasons for beginning this evangelical Christian ministry was to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the hurting and the lost. Today, the Mission’s staff continues to uphold that commitment to serve as the Lord’s hands and feet to a community in need.

City Union Mission receives no government support and is not a United Way agency. The Mission depends solely on the gifts of God’s people – individuals, churches, groups, foundations and businesses who have a heart for the poor and homeless in Kansas City and want to partner with us in our ministry.
