OUR MISSION:

Help the homeless, hungry, hurting

people of Sussex County.​

​

We give out free food & free clothes everyday depending on the weather & as our supplies last. But no matter what the weather or day, we always give out free home-made hot meals on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays! Over the next 12 months, our goal is to give out over 65,000 FREE HOMEMADE MEALS 408 N. Bedford Street in Georgetown, DE.

The Shepherd’s Office Ministries in Georgetown, DE is a faith-based program for the homeless, hungry, hurting people. Our hope is to provide an alcohol & drug free, supportive faith-based environment for people who are lacking family support,  We offer regular & daily FREE  MEALS, home cooked meals & free clothing & other provisions. We also help our guests with employment search &housing ideas. We help them navigate the community for other resources. We also use Facebook live Videos to help get the word out about what is needed for the people we are helping.

Who are the homeless in Delaware?

They are the working poor, the newly divorced, the retired on fixed incomes, the employed car dwellers, the couch surfers, the unbanked, the motel moms with their kids, the returning citizens released from prison, the military veterans, the traumatized women of domestic violence, the people with untreated addictions the SPMI people with untreated mental illness. (SPMI = Severe and Persistent Mental  Illness). At the Shepherd's Office, we see a lot of different poverty and crisis situations. We all jump right in & try our best to help. We focus on the basic things first & then we dig in to the more complicated situations like finding housing, becoming job ready, doing job search & then job retention & crisis intervention around issues related to mental illness, addiction issues & homelessness! Support is extremely important to our peers, guests & volunteers in recovery with a mental health disorder &/or a severe addiction as they re-engage in the community after receiving treatment or coming into the Georgetown area.

EMPLOYMENT is a primary goal of our daily efforts here when we are assisting our guests in their wellness & recovery. We keep learning how to perform a variety of tasks better & better at the Shepherd's Office. We perform various case management duties such as learning how to do basic intakes to gaining information to assess someone’s needs. We do the best job we can of 'peer support' & encouragement & our middle name is HOSPITALITY. We are always learning about the changing resources that can be utilized out in the surrounding community. We very much appreciate your support of our program in Georgetown!!!​​​​​
