Our Updates

Bird Attacks! We go to Kalivas Park in Manchester and do outreach between 6:00 and 7:00AM. For the past week we’ve been getting dive-bombed by birds going after our shopping bags and cases of water. They fly right into us and peck at us. Not cool! And it often hurts! We’ve gotten nailed on our…

Just finished our Sunday Outreach (7/12/26, 10:00AM) . Ran into another ministry out there. It’s good to see that. Not as many unhoused folks as usual in the parks. Guess they’ve been scattered again. We try to bring large trash bags with us when we can so that people can pick up after themselves. It…

Eddie was a fixture at Veteran’s Park. We were there early Saturday Morning when the ambulance came to get him. A gentle, likeable guy who we knew for years. He passed last night at Elliot Hospital (7/8/26). God rest his soul.

We did 6 days of outreach in the hottest weather and distributed 1,200 bottles of water, 360 street lunches, 60 tee shirts, 16 pairs of shorts, 80 pairs of socks, and 16 pairs of shoes. Our cash on hand got low, and when we put out a plea for help and some wonderfully kind and…

Dear Friends, Back in 2017, when we offered a simple act of compassion toward a homeless individual, we never imagined that it would evolve into what Shepherd’s Way is today – a mission built around Matthew 25: 35-36 that assists hundreds of people each year and continues to grow. But in these tough economic times,…

Shepherd’s Way proclaims little and pronounces even less. We do not seek glory, recognition, or reward for caring for our neighbors. Our work is quiet, humble, and grounded in the belief that doing what is right does not require applause. With the resources we have, we help people survive the elements and meet essential needs…

This morning after outreach, our team stopped for coffee. As we often do, we offered to buy breakfast for a couple who were hungry. Unfortunately, the staff at the establishment were not patient or welcoming, and things escalated quickly when the couple felt they were being treated unfairly. We helped de‑escalate and got everyone outside…

Started outreach at 6:30AM this morning. Distributed 85 snack lunches, 40 bottles of water, 125 pairs of socks, 12 hoodies, 65 tee- shirts, 10 pairs of shorts, 10 emergency survival blankets, 2 denim jackets, and 6 pairs of slacks. Went to Veteran’s, Kalivas, Bronstein, and Victory Parks, and Hanover Street.

TRYING TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY I see a face staring at me, Weathered by nights that never end, Outside in the cold, in the darkness, A person reaching for light. Addiction is their master, But it’s not the needles they see, It’s the years of trying to outrun the pain. Trying to live another day…

Gave out food, clothing, tarps, and emergency survival blankets this morning. Police have broken up camps and have scattered the unhoused homeless in Manchester every which way. Quite unfortunate!
