Union Mission’s 11th Annual Raising Hope

Thank you to everyone who made this night possible.

The room was full of people who care deeply about this community, and because of their generosity, Union Mission can keep doing what it does every day. From the auction to the keynote to the conversations happening between tables, the Raising Hope Gala reminded us why this work matters.

Take a look at the videos below to see the stories behind the mission. Then scroll through the photos and relive the night.

Keep the Hope Going

The gala may be over, but the need doesn't stop. If you weren't able to give that night or want to do more, you can make a donation any time. Every dollar goes toward the men and women Union Mission serves right here in Savannah.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

None of this happens without the businesses and individuals who invest in this community year after year. We are deeply grateful to every sponsor who made the 11th Annual Raising Hope Gala possible.
