00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty five years on Saint Patrick's Day.

14
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Which again that's sneaking right up. And you're doing some

15
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.079
<v Speaker 1>cool stuff for your one twenty fifth, aren't you.

16
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we are. We're having a party, So come down

17
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 2>and join with us, come and hang out, and send

18
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in some checks to support us. There you go, because

19
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 2>we definitely need it. We don't take any government money. Yeah,

20
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>all donor based. And so we're trying to do a thing.

21
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>We're trying to help people get better and get stable.

22
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And I've had a chance to do something with you. Guys,

23
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>every time I've ever worked with you, I've been so impressed.

24
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a great organization, wonderful people doing wonderful things. And

25
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>there's a reason you've been around one hundred and twenty

26
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>five years, and you know, it's because you have a

27
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 1>great team of people there.

28
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>We have a great team of people. But not only that,

29
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>it's needed. Yeah, so I would love not to be

30
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>a shelter in this community, but it's needed. And so

31
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>what we want to do is make sure that we're

32
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 2>loving people good, you know. And so how do you

33
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>bring somebody back from that's hit the bottom, Well, you

34
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>bring them back with love. You love them just right

35
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>where they're at.

36
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, the average person listening right now, how can they help?

37
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Is it best for people to write a check or

38
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 1>are you looking for people to come and help or

39
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 1>you you know, what's the best way for somebody to

40
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>get involved in help?

41
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, well, so we love people to come and

42
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>volunteer and get involved and see what we're doing. There's

43
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>so much to do down there. There's closed sorting and

44
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>because we give clothes away to the public, you know,

45
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 2>so you can come down and do volunteerism. You can

46
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.879
<v Speaker 2>come down and just see what we're doing. Help out

47
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>in the kitchen. We do one hundred and forty two

48
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>thousand meals a year through our kitchen. We don't close.

49
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>We're open seven days a week, three meals a day.

50
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 2>We don't we're not you know, some places closed in town,

51
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 2>but we don't close. We keep on feeding people in

52
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the weekends. We feed a lot of people, six seven

53
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>hundred people during the weekend. And it's awesome, you know.

54
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>So all we got food boxes. You can come down

55
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesdays and Thursdays from one to four come help

56
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 2>pass out food to people with neat like. So we

57
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>did three thousand food boxes last month. Wow, which is huge. Right. So,

58
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 2>but everything that we do has a little bit of

59
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>cost to it, right, So we get great donations from

60
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.840
<v Speaker 2>people in our community and things like that, and so

61
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>we're able to do these things. And so we also

62
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>do case management. And if you are nurse, we have

63
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>in Midwest street Medicine that works out of the mission.

64
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>You can join them. There's so much you can do.

65
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So if you're listening and you're going, I would

66
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>like to get involved. I would like to help reach

67
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>out talk to the folks at Union Gospel. They'll find

68
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a good place for you to help. Or if you're saying, boy,

69
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 1>I just don't have the time, but I could certainly

70
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>write a check to help with the things that they're doing.

71
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>That is very helpful as well. And if they want

72
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 1>to do that, they find you just go to the

73
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 1>website or stop it and see it. What's the best way.

74
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.159

82
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that's it. I guess it's less than three minutes.

83
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Ours is about thirty minutes. Yeah, you will spend some

84
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>time and there's a lot to see. Lots that we

85
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>have done there in the last five years, and so

86
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>we've really changed some things to make it where we're

87
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>helping people get better and helping people really become stable

88
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in what they're doing.

89
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, again, Union Gospel Mission exciting thing. One hundred and

90
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years. They've been around now one hundred and

<v Speaker 1>to have a big party. Is it on Saint Patrick's Day?

93
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>It is on Saint Patrick's Day. And go to the

94
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.599

96
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>it's from like noon to seven to night, and so

97
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a stop in. We're gonna be having people talking

98
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 2>about how the Missions help them throughout their life and

99
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>where they're at now. So we're gonna have some testimonies

100
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>of people saying, here's what's happened from when I was

101
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>homeless and now I'm not homeless and I'm doing better.

102
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>So we'll have people talking about their story. We'll have food,

103
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>so just come down and visit. We'll have cookies. So

104
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you had me cookies, I know, right, Just come on

105
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>in and have a cookie. But the best thing is

106
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to do because a lot of people go, I didn't

107
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>realize that the Mission does all this, and so we

108
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 2>do all this. We keep on doing the thing in

109
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Suit Falls to help the people that need help. And

110
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>we're not giving a handout, we're giving a hand up.

111
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>So we're really helping people get better and stable. We

112
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>put three hundred and sixty six people in housing last year.

113
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing, and no receipt of vision. So they're not

114
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>getting out, they're staying in the system. They're staying as taxpayers.

115
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Now they have jobs, they're doing the thing. And so

116
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>that's just last year. Yeah, and so we keep on

117
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>doing this, We keep on working with people. But the

118
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing, it really costs money to do this. So

119
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>if anybody's out there willing to donate, you know, a

120
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>million dollars or two million or even five bucks.

121
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 1>You know what I said, You got me closer there.
