On October 14, 2016, at the Keizer Civic Center, The Union Gospel Mission (UGM) of Salem hosted their annual Harvest Dessert. During the event they provided updates on the state of the Mission as well as heard stories of those whose lives were changed by services received at the Mission.
Bruce Bailey, the Executive Director of the UGM, honored the Marion County Sheriff's Office's Parole and Probation Division and other local law enforcement by presenting them with the "Heart of the Community Award." The Sheriff's Office received the award for its dedication to the community through its efforts with the Marion County Reentry Initiative and the ongoing work with clients and challenges around homelessness.
Lt. Kevin Karvandi with the Sheriff's Office Parole and Probation Division stated, "This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our staff and their dedication to work collaboratively with our community and public safety partners."
The Union Gospel Mission (UGM) of Salem is passionately committed to the work of restoring hope and restoring lives. The generosity of thousands of faithful financial supporters, community agencies and volunteers makes this possible. Without community support they would be unable to provide food, shelter, and many other life-changing services to hungry, hurting and homeless men, women and children.
