About Upper Room Mission

The Upper Room Mission offers hope to the hungry, hurting and homeless in our community. We provide emergency services in the areas of food and practical assistance by serving meals, offering referrals to resources, advocacy, work programming and more!

Funds raised at this event will help sustain the Upper Room Mission's Food Security Program, which served over 90,000 hot meals in 2016! Join us on February 24th for the sixth annual Coldest Night of the Year!
