Union Rescue Mission, Little Rock Charity Profile

The Union Rescue Mission (URM) has been the primary service provider to the forgotten veteran, abused housewife, afflicted neighbor, and the desperate addict for nearly 60 years. Our mission is to provide an environment where the love and compassion of Jesus Christ can help people overcome and prevent life’s adversities.

URM was founded by Reverend Guy S. Wilson and Ray Branscum in 1946. The organization was renamed the Twin City Mission in 1952. At that time, the congregation of Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church agreed to pay $100/month to rent the old Glenn Hotel in North Little Rock. In 1954, the Pulaski County Baptist Association (PCBA) took over the responsibility of sponsoring the mission and hired Purl Stocktown to be the first Superintendent.

Last year was great with the help of our willing and dedicated volunteers. This year, we are hoping for even more willing participants to collect can goods for our food boxes and to assemble those food boxes after the cans are collected.
