As the owner and founder of the multi-faceted Milestone Companies and its subsidiary, Milestone Investment Properties, LLC, Ronald "Ron" Newman directs the work of development, design, construction, and management of multifamily housing complexes. As a dedicated member of the congregation at Edgewood Bible Church in Puyallup, Washington, moreover, he supports a variety of Christian causes. Ronald Newman’s charitable portfolio includes Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, which works to provide emergency and recovery services to people experiencing homelessness.
The mission concentrates on serving in five key areas: fighting the effects of poverty, substance abuse, homelessness, and hunger, and working on behalf of at-risk young adults. Its team also hopes to demonstrate how the gospel of Jesus Christ can transform and strengthen the lives of people of every background.
Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission’s leadership understands that this type of social support work is a sacred public trust. The organization strives to bring a passionate sense of innovation to solving the problems that most beset its urban community.
Through activities such as art gallery shows featuring the work of men and women struggling with homelessness, the mission aims to honor the humanity of those it serves while raising much-needed funds and awareness.
