The CELEBRATE HOPE campaign will affect all areas of City Union Mission including their Men’s Center, Family Center, New Life Center and camp for low-income children located in the Ozarks.

| Why: |
"We are so very grateful to our friends in the greater Kansas City area who have allowed God to use them to help us reach our goal. We are so close and yet are not quite there. Pray with us that the remaining funds will come in the next few days," said Dan Doty, executive director of the Mission.
The CELEBRATE HOPE financial giving campaign offers Kansas Citians the opportunity to reach out to those in need in their own community. Funds received during CELEBRATE HOPE will assist City Union Mission to provide food, shelter, case management, counseling, education, training, and children’s ministries 365 days a year. |
