Union Gospel Mission to Serve 400 Meals Easter Sunday, Mayor Wilson to Visit
Portland, Ore., - Union Gospel Mission (UGM) will hold its annual Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 20 at 12pm at 3 NW Third Avenue in Portland. UGM is working to make the holiday a little extra special for those experiencing homelessness, especially since many are separated from family and can’t have a typical celebration. Mayor Keith Wilson plans to attend to greet guests and serve meals.
In all, Union Gospel Mission will provide more than 3,300 special holiday meals. The holiday meal service kicked off Friday, April 11 when the Mission packed 500 Easter food baskets, which provide 2,500 Easter meals for families who are housed but unable to provide Easter meals for their families. This week, leading up to Easter, the Mission is serving more than 400 Easter meals during their Search + Rescue mobile outreach to camps.
UGM is preparing to serve at least 400 meals Easter Sunday which will include scrambled eggs with diced ham and cheddar cheese, biscuits and sausage gravy, fruit salad, a pastry, coffee, juice, and a snack sack for later in the day. Guests will have the option of dining in or taking a meal to go.
“We are looking forward to celebrating Easter with our neighbors and thankful that Mayor Wilson’s presence reminds them that Portland cares,” said Matt Stein Executive Director
