Hi there! I’m Mike Johnson, CEO of Yakima Union Gospel Mission, and I’m here at Wray's IGA on 56th and Summitview in Yakima. I’ll continue to be right here, out in the elements, for 60 hours straight in an effort to raise $60K.

Join me live on Facebook or YouTube – and make sure to check back frequently as we have special guests visiting us all weekend! Visit our $60K In 60 Hours web page to see how we are progressing toward our goal and please consider giving.

Like many other non-profits across the country, charitable giving is down - but the number of people struggling with homelessness is up. We already have over 180 men, women, and children staying overnight with us – and that number is expected to climb as the weather gets colder.

Thank you so much for all you do with YUGM and/or other non-profits as we work together to care for our community. Don't forget to visit us on Facebook or YouTube as we will be livestreaming until 10pm on Sunday 12/17.
