Overview
Mission
Shore Days is a space for families affected by disability to be supported, encouraged, and cared for. Our prayer for each of you landing on this site, navigating your own hard roads of disability, is that you would also experience a multitude of “Shore Days.” As Jay and Katherine Wolf often say (some of our favorite people forging a path ahead for disability), “this is a GoodHard road.” We could not experience the good without the hard. And there is so much good. But the hard days feel like many, and the isolation feels like it may swallow you whole. So we pray this space and our ministry would bridge that gap for you…that you would allow us to stand with you, support you, encourage you, and offer you days on the shore when you feel like you are being beaten down by the waves. Jamie & Stephe.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided summer child care through our 8-week summer day camp for children with severe disabilities needing one on one care.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filed totals do not add up.
