As a Christian ministry, we serve our community's homeless neighbors by providing safe shelter, healthy food, clothing, and physical, emotional, and spiritual support. By helping our guests with life-skills training, job search education, wellness programs, and prayer, we prepare them for rich and full lives after homelessness. The Union Mission Thrift Store is located at our Norfolk campus and offers savvy shoppers great deals on quality used and new merchandise. All proceeds go toward supporting the ministry. Hope Haven in Virginia Beach offers a summer camp program for innercity children, respite care for families with special-needs children, a children's home, a teen leadership development program, and a retreat center. Reaching Romania, our international sister organization, features a residential home for children, in addition to a monthly benevolence ministry to help needy Romanian families and widows.
