Union Gospel Mission

We brought The Big Soup to Canada for the 1st time - hosted at @VanConventions ! 🇨🇦 Together with PavCo, our @sodexo_live volunteers prepared 1,500 servings of stew for @ugm. A powerful reminder of what happens when compassion meets community in Vancouver. ❤️

As part of our $10K donation earlier this year, Keystone Environmental was proud to join @ugm's #ADayOfMeals, where our team helped prepare, cook, and serve dinner for the Downtown Eastside community. #KeystoneKares #GivingBack #KeystoneEnvironmental #EnvironmentalConsulting

“I said, ‘I’ve had enough of this.’ I felt such hopelessness. I could not believe that my life had come to this. The friend I was with said, ‘If you really want help, go to UGM.’” Read Monica’s story in UGM’s March Gratitude Newsletter: bit.ly/4kINd2v

“When I look back on my life, I had times where it looked like I had it all, but I always wanted something different. I could never be satisfied; I was always so uncomfortable in my own skin. I just like being me now.” Read Monica’s story: bit.ly/4kINd2v

“The amount of joy I have in my life today, it blows my mind. Sometimes I just can’t believe where I’m at right now. I’m actually present now. When I see my son’s face light up, and I see how excited he is to see me, that means the world to me.” 🔗bit.ly/3ClPy21
