History
A relief effort that began in 1888 to coordinate the outreach of churches in Fort Worth to aid the poor and dispossessed has continued, without interruption, for over 128 years. UGM-TC served as an auxiliary to local churches in order to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the “rabble of the city and the outcasts in the slum districts.” So Bethel Mission became what is known today as Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County. Since the earliest days, preaching the Gospel has been the focus of the Mission. From the early 1900’s through World War I, demand for UGM-TC services grew dramatically. Fort Worth’s population had grown faster than the city could support. People requested food, clothing, shelter and guidance and UGM-TC freely ministered to those in need.
