Union Gospel Mission launches new website

Portland, OR- Union Gospel Mission has a new website at www.ugmportland.org. The new site was developed in a very cost effective manner, thanks to non-profit rates from the web designer, One Dog Designs, and the web hosting company, Sterling Communications. The website will help both Union Gospel Mission donors and people in need of Union Gospel Mission's services.

"The new website enables people to download an application to LifeChange, our addiction recovery program, in addition to learning in more detail about LifeChange and the other services we offer to someone in need. The website also provides tools for our donors, such as the ability to donate online, get information about volunteering and downloading a volunteer waiver form," said Bill Russell, Union Gospel Mission's Executive Director.

In addition to features for people in need of services, Union Gospel Mission donors and volunteers, the website contains extensive information about Union Gospel Mission and the Mission's programs. A general information brochure, annual report, press releases and contact information for all staff members are available on the website.

"Our organization is expanding and reaching out to the community more and more, so we're happy to offer an easy way for people to access information about us. We hope people will get the help they may need once they find out more about LifeChange, or learn more about the work we do and support it through donations or volunteering," said Russell.
