I stayed here during parts of the year 2020. I mean from my experience it wasn't that bad, they give you quite alot of food at dinner time, showers were ok, beds were decent to sleep in...Hell it kept me out of the elements that's all I cared about and they helped me get back on my feet. If you take it serious you'll be fine. I just kept myself to myself and did what I needed to do there in order to get an apartment again for myself.God bless.

Stayed there 2 nights. Staff was alright and helpful, bed was warm and somewhat comfortable. Showers were lukewarm but not cold. Dinner was good with generous portions, I'm a big boy and love to eat but even I struggled to finish what I was served. Be careful of who you interact with in here though because some are there for the wrong reasons, even the staff gave me that warning. Other than that I have no complaints.

City Union Mission is a bright spot for many homeless and underprivileged people and families in the Kansas City area. This event is the yearly motorcycle ride which raises money for a great cause.

What is needed to recieve food

Andrew | Aug 22, 2020
Zane Perkins | Aug 22, 2021

You have to be checked in to get a bed and then you will eat when they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Or you can ask for a sack lunch if you miss the time they serve food.

How much does it cost to store my things

Freddie Nunez | Aug 23, 2019
Jeffrey Dungan | Aug 22, 2020

Single bags only; can be stored overnight for free. There's a "safety box", 25¢ for key availability; unlocking the box resets the cost. A padlocked storage locker I think requires $20+ month month, of which $10 is a refundable deposit. Everything cash.

Want to know if you all take donation of men's clothing at this location?

D Smallwood | Jun 23, 2022

My question is why the administrator of the shelter has not gone to the actual shelter and seen how disgraceful it is being ran and gotten rid of the negative staff that r there?

rashad harris | Aug 22, 2021
Zane Perkins | Aug 22, 2021

There have been a lot of changes in the past 2 weeks. A few of the staff have quit and the hours that they open doors have changed. They need to hire more help for things to get better or things are going to get a lot worse.

What all do, I need to know to stay there?

If I was wanting to check in on Saturday July 31st what time can I do it an will I get a bed.

Chris McGlothlin | Aug 22, 2021
Zane Perkins | Aug 22, 2021

I don't know when they unlock the doors in the morning but they are locked from 10:30am - 1:15pm. They give out beds at 3:00pm and the doors are locked after 6;30pm. Best time to get a bed is 2:00pm - 5:00pm. If its your first time or if you haven't had problems here before then you will most likely get a bed.

If I needed a place to stay can I stay til I can find away home if stranded

Ronld Stanleyel | Aug 22, 2021
Zane Perkins | Aug 22, 2021

If you need a place to stay for the night, get there before 6:30pm, if you need to eat, be there before 5pm and tell them you need a place to stay and ask for a bed. If available, you will eat @5:30, you have to shower starting @7:30 and bed time is @9:30.

Yes, they will get you the help you need. I myself live in the Christian Life Center and it is a great program for those wanting to get their life back on track. The case managers are super awesome and are there to help you restart a positive lifestyle. If you genuinely want help then I definitely recommend coming here brother. God bless and I will keep you in my prayers.

As was stated above, the shelter is two blocks due north of the greyhound. In regards to programs and length of stay that would vary based on your exact situation, but your willingness to do chores is a major positive .

Steve McGill | Aug 23, 2019
SF Thomas | Aug 23, 2019

Yes. They'd probably prefer if he tried something upward somehow. Some homeless have been "barred" from City Union Mission & that creates animus (even tho these "bars" are generally limited & appeal-able)

Many homeless have pets to keep them company and to hold off depression. These people of course will not leave there animals so they will exclude themselves from such places. So my question is Are these k9 and or feline companies allowed?

No. Men's facility cannot accommodate "companion animals" NOR very formally designated SERVICE animals (typically dogs).
