830 WCCO recently held its 23rd annual Interrupt Homelessness radiothon to benefit Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities, raising nearly $375,000 in the process.
Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities serves over 2,000 men, women, and children annually by providing
essential needs like food, shelter, and clothing, alongside holistic programs designed to break
the cycles of homelessness and addiction.
“When Minnesota comes together, no one gets left behind. It’s a testament to our amazing fans and incredibly supportive partners at WCCO for lifting those in need through Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities,” said 830 WCCO Brand Manager Brad Lane.
“Our fans’ generosity isn’t just a donation, it’s a gift of dignity, hope, a warm meal and a bed,” Lane continued. “Using the breadth and power of this legacy platform to help the work that UGMTC does; this is what it means to be a good neighbor.”
“Today, we’re highlighting how our holistic services truly interrupt homelessness. I’m struck by how many of the men and women who shared their stories on the air did so because they want others to reach the same place they are now, sober, housed, employed and healing,” said Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities CEO Pam Stegora Axberg.
“Their message to our community was clear: ‘Help make my story possible for someone else.’ And today, thousands of donors answered that call,” she continued. “Together, we are breaking the cycle of homelessness for our neighbors. That’s what makes a day like this so special.”
