People who are suffering from homelessness and addiction rarely see themselves as failures. They see themselves as ones who’ve lost pieces of something along their way through life.  Validate their feelings. Let them know that they haven’t failed, that they’ve for whatever reason been carrying too much alone and you understand that they have lost…

Many of the unhoused are at the warming station at 39 Beech – thankfully. It’s too awful with the wind chill for them to be outside. We paid them a visit a bit ago and brought them a bunch of goodies. Will do it again later in the day. In the meantime, we’re driving around…

If you’re living in your vehicle and struggling to stay warm, fed, or moving forward, you’re not alone. Shepherd’s Way is here for you. If you need a bag of groceries, or someone to talk through next steps, reach out. We treat every person with dignity, without judgment, and with the understanding that life can…

  We are ending the year 2025 the way we started it, distributing food, water and warm clothing to the unhoused homeless at warming stations, parks and camps. It’s our mission. It’s what we do, and we’ve been doing it for over eight full years. Looking back over the past twelve months, we saw many…

We just got a large donation of hats, tarps, and emergency survival blankets from an anonymous donor. This was great blessing to Shepherd’s Way and to our unhoused friends because we go through a lot of these items, and we were just about out of them. Thank you so very much for your generosity and…

Thank you WMUR-TV for recognizing Shepherd’s Way and the work that we do to assist the homeless in the Greater Manchester Area. of New Hampshire.
