Shepherds Office Inc

Overview

Mission

Our local faith-based Christian ALL VOLUNTEERS team no employees focus on helping the homeless hungry or lonely every day in Georgetown. 365 days a year Every day we start with a Morning Prayer and Praise hour followed by a free breakfast and coffee. We also have an organizational meeting for all our daily volunteers. Every evening we have a 6 PM Bible Study and on Sundays we have a Church Service for the Homeless. There are approximately 200 homeless persons who live outdoors in our Georgetown Delaware area. Each month we give out approximately 5,400 Free Homemade Healthy Grab & Go Meals from our front porch at 408 N. Bedford Street in Georgetown DE. In 2025 we gave out 66,177 Free Meals. We keep track of every meal we provide because we are an approved Hunger Relief Partner with the Food Bank of Delaware. Every day from 10 am to 3 pm we set up tables outside and give out FREE clean clothing and other provisions supplies. We also provide funding for rents and motel fees.

Operating model

Revenue model

Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

Distribution model

Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and assets have declined or grown slowly.
