POLYGON SUPPORTS THE UNION GOSPEL MISSION

For the eighth consecutive year, Polygon is proud to support Union Gospel Mission. UGM is a volunteer organization dedicated to meeting the needs of hungry and homeless men, women and children in Greater Vancouver. To date, Polygon has raised over half a million dollars for this worthwhile organization through our highly popular ‘12 Days of Christmas Raffle’. This year, three new outreach vehicles are on Union Gospel Mission’s wish list, and with the help of our friends and generous suppliers, we are working hard to make these Christmas wishes come true. For more information about how you can contribute to this worthwhile cause, please call 604-877-1131. Click here to see a list of this year’s prizes.
