Union Gospel

Union Gospel
Back to Missions

Since 2005, Hillside has formed a focused relationship with Union Gospel Mission – Tarrant County (UGM) in downtown Fort Worth. UGM assists homeless men, women, and children to get back on their feet.

Ways to Get Involved Throughout the Year

Volunteering

The volunteer opportunities at UGM are many. To volunteer, please go here to the UGM website at https://www.ugm-tc.org/volunteer/. It is a very special place. You can volunteer on your own, with your family or with a friend but for health and safety reasons, children must be over the age of 12 to volunteer.

Alpha Program

Hillside is always looking for volunteers to serve on a prayer team, a worship team, or be a small group discussion facilitator at their weekly Alpha Program. For more information, contact Debbie Blackwell at 817-992-0760. The Alpha program is an international non-denominational training and discipleship program that UGM uses on Thursday nights as their spiritual development program.

Hillside Serve Days

Hillside serves at UGM once a month on a Saturday night by serving dinner. To participate in this, or serve in any capacity at UGM, you must complete their training. Hillside has a special relationship with UGM that they allow us to do the training at Hillside instead of requiring you to go to the Mission.  Hillside provides that training usually once a month between services. To sign up for a training or a serve day, please visit the events tab.

Donations

The needs at Union Gospel Mission vary with the season. We at Hillside will be collecting specific items during various times of the year. Be on the lookout for when the UGM truck will be onsite collecting these items.

  • Winter Items – Winter coats for men, women and children. There is a specific need for the larger men’s sizes.
  • Spring Items – The Healing Shepherd is the medical facility for UGM and they are in need of over the counter medical items.

Union Gospel Mission is always in need of donations. If you are interested in donating a specific item to Union Gospel Mission, contact their donation line directly at 817-284-3255.
