Help First Church Fight Homelessness!
Since 1948, Orlando Union Rescue Mission has been committed to bringing Central Florida’s hungry, hurting, and homeless to new life, new goals, and a new future in Christ.
Together, We Can Break The Cycle Of Homelessness In Central Florida.
The Mission provides for immediate physical needs – including food, clothing, and shelter – however, our programs are designed to lead the homeless to permanent independence built on a personal relationship with Christ.
