Stewarding Every Gift with Care

With an average of 80% of funds going directly to programs, Central Union Mission remains one of the DC region’s most trusted nonprofits.

Your generosity fuels more than meals and shelter—it restores dignity, stability, and hope. And we take seriously the responsibility to use every dollar wisely, transparently, and for lasting good.

We See Every Gift as Sacred

As a private Christian nonprofit, we accept no government funding. Every gift is prayed over, carefully stewarded, and invested in real transformation.

We’re grateful for the trust you place in us and we honor that trust by putting your compassion straight to work.

Because of donors like you:

  • More than 80% of every dollar goes directly to programs
  • More than 300,000 bags of groceries are shared annually
  • More than 62,000 nights of safe shelter are provided each year
  • More than 140,000 hot meals are served to men experiencing homelessness

Built for Accountability

We open our books every year—on purpose.

An independent CPA firm audits our finances annually, and our records are reviewed by our board of directors.

Transparency isn’t just a best practice. It’s a matter of trust.
