Union Gospel Mission Clinic

Introduction

Union Gospel Mission (UGM) is a student-run free clinic run by UTSW students serving the homeless community in Dallas, TX. We have a men’s and women’s shelter. Volunteers’ roles vary between the two clinics but are primarily focused on signing in patients, taking vitals, handing out supplies and reading glasses, and resetting rooms. In addition, volunteers may learn how to take manual blood pressures, use an EKG machine, administer vaccines, and check blood sugar.

Schedule

Our volunteers come into the clinic every other week for one academic semester. For the Fall 2025 semester, we have 3 open shifts listed below.

Tuesday at Calvert: 5:30-8:00 PM
Wednesday at Calvert: 5:00-8:00 PM
Thursday at Center of Hope: 1:00-5:00 PM

Application Process

This is an open application, meaning applications are accepted on a rolling basis. When volunteer positions become available, selected applicants will be contacted for an interview. We typically recruit new volunteers around May, July, and December, depending on clinic needs and available positions. Submitting an application does not guarantee an immediate interview or position.

UGM Hygiene for the Homeless Drive

Another way to serve the homeless community in DFW.
We are mainly looking for shampoo, body wash, and deodorant, which are difficult to obtain.
Hours awarded from this Hygiene Drive are capped at 8 hours per semester.
Once you have your donations, place them in a labelled bag with your name and fill out the form prior to donating so that we can verify your hours!
If you have any questions regarding the drive or need a different drop-off time, please contact Leanne (ugmclinicmanager@gmail.com).
