The Women Helping Women Fund provided $10,000 to the Learning
Center at Anna Ogden Hall or the purchase o new computers. As an
integral part o the recovery program’s educational/vocational component,
these computers will assist residents in gaining skills absolutely necessary

and help women preparing or GED exams or college entrance. Women
Helping Women and the Union Gospel Mission share a common goal o
empowering women to turn their lives around. We deeply appreciate

According to a recent article by Rebecca Nappi in the Spokesman Review , brothers
and sisters who stay connected have healthier, possibly even longer, lives. Siblings
share a common history and are likely to be the longest relationships o a person’s lie.
Plenty o opportunities to practice conict resolution and orgiveness arise between
brothers and sisters. (Believe me, I have our brothers. I know.) God created the
amily as the primary learning ground, the basis or society as a whole. Sometimes,
however, as in our cover story, the inuence o amily is overwhelmingly negative.
The enemy’s number one strategy is to divide and destroy amilies – to take what
God created or good and twist it. Sunday had to walk away rom her amily, but God
is bringing about a rebuilding.
• WorkNet is oered as a one-week seminar at the men’s
shelter. The purpose is to help men identiy their interests
and skills, nd a job that interests them, get the job, and keepthe job. Lesson one: Work can be more than a paycheck; it
can be ullling. Resumes are written and mock interviews
conducted.
• Learning Centers at both recovery programs provide
training in literacy, computers and GED preparation.
• Sae work environments: UGM Motors and the UGM thrit
stores were both created to provide job training and work
experience or otherwise difcult-to-employ individuals.
• Women at Work is oered as part o the women’s recovery
program. Communication, ethics, interview skills, and
appropriate dress are among the topics addressed by TianyRiddle, educational/vocational manager, and her team o
community experts. A shopping trip to the UGM thrit store and
ashion shows o appropriate and inappropriate work attire
are workshop highlights. Tiany also works with community
businesses to arrange volunteer apprenticeships or women
in the nal phases o the program.
• Paid internships throughout the ministry are available to
program graduates.
David wrote in the Psalms that there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Sunday ound that Friend in
Jesus Christ, and together, they charted a new course. Sunday separated hersel rom her amily or a time so that
she might heal and build a new lie. Fortunately, she ound that crucial, amily-like support at the Union Gospel
Mission thrit store. Fellow employees and management stood by her, loved her, and prayed or her. Eventually, she
turned sibling pressure on its head and began to inuence her amily or good. Now, her sister Angie is attempting
to ollow her lead.
When you give to Union Gospel Mission, you impact lives, and those lives impact other lives – amilies, riends,
employers, acquaintances – and the impact reverberates in ever-spreading circles o inuence. That’s what we’re
about – not just getting people back to work, but getting them back to work as whole, healthy individuals who can
make a dierence in another lie. Not only are you helping to spread positive inuence, you are helping put an end
to negative inuence. Sunday was the rst person in her amily to blaze a dierent path. She broke the cycle o
crime, drugs and incarceration because you helped create a sae work environment where people truly care about
each other at the Union Gospel Mission thrit stores. Thank you.
Serving together,
