About The Shepherd's Hand

Our Mission

The Shepherd's Hand is a Christian nonprofit organization committed to serving the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals experiencing homelessness or economic hardship. We provide a safe, welcoming space where people can access essential services, including meals, clothing, showers, laundry facilities, and faith-based conversations. We offer guidance in obtaining employment and shelter/housing. Our mission is made possible through the compassionate partnership of individuals and organizations who share our vision of hope, dignity, and transformation.

Our Story

The Shepherd's Hand was founded in response to the Biblical call to 'feed my sheep' (John 21:17), with a strong sense that this 'feeding' was to be lived out not merely by providing lunches, but rather to make available a much wider range of services. In 2011 The Shepherd's Hand was officially incorporated as a non-profit with recognized 501(c)(3) status. The current facility was purchased in 2022, making it possible to realize the breadth of this dream.
