Homelessness is an epedimic affecting 3.5 million in a given year

43% of the homeless population are women

1.3 million homeless are children

Each one of these statistics represents a person just like you, who has a family just like you have. Since 1924, City Union Mission has provided warm beds, nutritious food and a place of safety for thousands of poverty stricken and homeless men, women and children.

The staff at City Union Mission knows it's vital to share these important statistics with you.  Daily we strive to meet the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of men, women, and children who are poor or homeless. Barkley created an accurate and compelling video for us to share with donors and potential donors.

"We are grateful for Barkley's partnership and for the employees that spent time creating this video for us. I'm sure it will help to motivate others to get involved. It is exciting when local businesses and individuals give of their time and talents to care for the least of these; men, women and children who are lost and homeless, hungry and thirsty," said Shawna Ketter, Corporate Relations Specialist.

"Barkley did an incredible job of creating a  video, 9 minutes in length, that elicites a range of emotions.  It effectively points out that we all have a responsibility to help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness, as well as providing answers as to how we can make a lasting difference," said Karen Housholder, Media Specialist.

"We have all truly been touched by the riveting images of the people you care for everyday. Thanks for allowing us to work on this project that has been so uplifting," said Kat Marsh, Account Manager at Barkely.
