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.
In Central Florida, 1 in 17 children will experience homelessness this year. Help a homeless man, woman, or child.
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.
For tens of thousands of hurting men, women, and children in Central Florida, homelessness is a devastating experience often marked by traumatic loss. Watch this short video to learn how Orlando Union Rescue Mission helped restore one resident’s dignity during her period of homelessness.
OURM does not receive any government funding. Our ministry to the homeless is made possible entirely through the generous cash and in-kind contributions of friends like you.
Volunteers are critical to the smooth operation of the Mission’s ministries. Share your time and talents where the rewards last a lifetime and beyond.
Your prayer partnership is, perhaps, the Mission’s greatest ongoing need. Your prayer support is critical to the success of our ministry to the homeless.
