Recovery Services

Faith Based Scientifically Backed Recovery

Our recovery program is a trauma informed, faith based residential program that helps our clients move from homelessness to wholeness. We use a relational, experience-oriented system that focuses on replacing unhealthy relationships and experiences with loving and healthy alternatives. Through this process, self-destructive patterns of addiction, abuse, neglect, shame, and isolation are replaced with improved coping skills, healthy relationships, and the confidence to live a new life.

Adult Shelter

Temporary Housing and Emergency Services

When someone comes to Yakima Union Gospel Mission, their first stop is at Emergency Services to have their immediate physical needs met. Here, they can sign up for overnight beds, eat three meals a day, take showers, get haircuts, pick out fresh clothes, and receive medical care.

Counseling from our staff is available to discuss options for entering our recovery programs or finding assistance at other service providers in the area.

Care Center

Critical Health Resources For Those in Need

Established 1995, the YUGM Medical Care Center remains one of only a few clinics that provide free medical, dental, and mental health care services to the most impoverished people in and around Yakima.

The clinic averages more than 9,000 patient visits each year made possible by over 200 volunteer medical professionals.

Contact our Care Center via email, or call 509-853-4327.

Medical Clinic

The medical clinic is often the only facility that can care for the complex and myriad health
needs associated with poverty. Whatever medical condition a homeless or poverty-stricken
person presents, our licensed doctors have the expertise and resources to provide for their
needs.

Dental Clinic

Dental care is a key piece to overall health and restoration, yet most individuals we see have
neither the insurance nor finances to afford vital services. Our Dental Care Center is stepping in to fill this void. With the help of a faithful group of local dentists and volunteer professionals, we provide full dental services to low-income individuals in our community
