Meeting basic human needs through feeding, clothing, sheltering, case-management and changing lives for good since 1983.

Who We Are

The Good Shepherd Mission is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our funding is through individuals, churches, area businesses, civic clubs, and our thrift store. We work with other local human services organizations and share resources as available. We serve all walks of life equally. Most of the people we serve are local and live in poverty. One-third of the clients we serve are elderly, and many are disabled. One-quarter of our clients are children.

Where We Are Going

We are asking God and communicating with His people, the needs of the Good Shepherd Mission.

Eduction Curriculum for Lodgers

We have expanded our educational program for our lodgers (those that are living at the Mission) from two classes to six classes. When lodgers sign up for the Lodger Program, they take classes on addiction recovery, Bible studies, workplace soft skills (such as "How to get along with difficult people"), workplace practical skills (such as "How to interview well"), household budgeting and others.

A New Dorm for Women

The Good Shepherd Mission is a co-ed shelter. This presented us with unwanted challenges. Therefore, we moved the women to the family building. Men and women are now not allowed to fraternize while at the Mission. Now they assit the food bank at different times and eat lunch at different times.

Transitional Housing for Lodgers

Huntsville is growing; therefore, our homeless population will grow as well. For this reason, the Board of Directors has approved us working on a solution. First, we were gifted an additional 3.4 acres of property that adjoins our former property line on the north end. We are currently exploring various housing solutions to expand the amount of homeless people we can help by adding physical capacity. Adding capacity will help us assist more people in recovering their lives and will keep more homeless people off of the streets of Huntsville.
