Description: The Good Shepherd Mission Provides food, clothing, and temporary shelter to indigent locals and transients.

Services include: Two hot meals daily, food bank, thrift store, human services, additionally offering limited prescription and travel-aid vouchers. Counseling and referral counseling is also provided.

The primary objective is to give those in need hope, meeting basic human needs, based upon New Testament teachings of Jesus Christ.This mission was founded by an ecumenical, interdenominational alliance of local ministers, in 1983. Local Church laity serve as Board Members. The individuals are elected by their church. The staff is less than 10, but uses over 20 volunteers.

Meals

    Each day of the year hot meals are served free of charge at noon and 6:00 PM. Sunday lunch is served at 1:00 PM.
    All are welcome; however, all are expected to help with clean up (as able).
    Lodgers have breakfast at 6:00 AM.
    We are currently planning total renovations of the kitchen to a fully functional commercial kitchen where interns will be taught the Culinary Arts.  This will empower them for good jobs.  We are accepting funding for this ministry program.
