Opportunities From: Yakima Union Gospel Mission

We provide stockings for all of our community members who may be spending Christmas Day with us. Last year, this was over 150 stockings! So, come join us as we listen to Christmas music, eat treats, and enjoy each other's company as we fill stockings on December 22nd from 2-4 pm. Or if you would like to contribute or know someone who would like to contribute to filling the stocking, that would be much appreciated. We collect items like: socks, feet and hand warmers, snacks, candy, and hygiene items. 

Please arrive through the South gate and follow the instructions on the map below. You can let staff know you are here to fill stockings in the banquet room. 

Twice a day we process Adult Shelter Clients through guest services check point so that they can come in and enjoy some shelter and a good meal and possibly stay with us for the night. We also process client in-takes. This opportunity does require a little physical activity and you may witness situations that require emotional maturity.  If you feel you can help us with that, please respond to this opportunity and we will reach out to you.

Please enter through the South Gate and let them know you are here to volunteer at check point. Check point takes place in the Lewis Building. If there is no answer at the gate, you can call our Client Services Manager, Michael, at 509-424-0452.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we are short staffed and need a helping hand caring for our clients. Caring for our community members is a 24/7 job and we need help sometimes when one or a few of our staff members falls ill. These on call positions will most likely be helping in our Adult Shelter area during the day and at night. Please reach out to our volunteer department by email at volunteer@yugm.org or phone at 509-853-4318, if you would like more information about this position or are interested in meeting with a staff member for orientation and training. During your shift you will always have a staff member available to you and/or with you. 

Help show love to YUGM clients by providing them with the gift of clean laundry! We highly value cleanliness and hygiene, which means we have much clothing and bedding to launder. Would you like to be a part of the laundry team to help us maintain our cleanliness standards? It takes approximately one hour to wash and dry and load of bedding or clothing. 

When you click "Respond" and "Submit Response," a staff member will call you to arrange your shift day and time.
