Sign up for the Union Mission Easter Walk for Hunger!

Walk along to help hurting West Virginians this Easter season!

Union Mission is hosting its first-ever Easter Walk for Hunger. Join us on Saturday, April 23, at 8:30 a.m. and walk, jog, run or bike the seven-mile Kanawha City Bike Path. We'll meet at the NiSource parking lot on MacCorkle Avenue (just look for the signs!) We'll celebrate the return of Spring, enjoy great company and fellowship and, most of all, raise funds to help homeless, hungry and hurting West Virginians throughout the Easter season.

Form a 10-person team for flat registration fee of $100, or take a solo trip of $25 per adult, $15 per student. T-shirts will be provided.

Did you know that Union Mission fed 500,000 in 2010? Help us do even more for needy West Virginians by raising money to support The Mission's vital social services programs. Form an Easter Walk for Hunger team today!

(FYI: You are welcome to sign up the day of the hop. We'll have a registration table up and ready beginning at 7:45.)

Meth Shatters Lives...

...and The Mission helps rebuild them.

Check out this great story from WOWK-TV here in West Virginia.

This Saturday...

...is our biggest food distribution of the year. We fed more than 54,000 during our Thanksgiving food giveaway in 2009 through our outreach sites in 19 West Virginia counties.

Needless to say, it's a big week for us.

Union Mission Special Report: Hunger in West Virginia.

Well, at Least the Thief had Some Morals

Still, I'm having a hard-time coming up with a moral from this story...

The Associated Press: Homeless man mugged, gets all of his stuff back after telling would-be thief he's homeless.

Fight Against Hunger

Hard to believe, but the holidays are officially here...at least as far as we're concerned.

Today through Friday, October 29, we're once again joining up with WCHS-TV8/Fox11 Eyewitness news to conduct our annual food drive for West Virginians in need.

We hope you'll tune in--and turn out--to visit us at the WCHS television studios...and bring a canned good while you're at it!
