“Section B on top of first page: We did not check the Initial Return box in Section B because the initial return we filed was the Form 990-N in 2020. ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Part 1 - Line 1 Contributions, Gifts, Grants: The Shepherds Office did not host or attend any in-person Local Fundraising Venues or Gaming Events during the year. In 2022, the Shepherds Office participated in an On-Line giving day called Giving Tuesday and the on-line Giving Day in Delaware called Do More 24 Delaware. In total, we received on-line donations in 2022 from 583 members of the public through these various fundraising on-line platforms. There are no fundraising fees to participate on-line and the average individual donation amounts received in 2022 through these on-line platforms was $212 per donor. The only cost associated with these on-line giving days and on-line platforms was to mail out Thank you cards to our individual donors. We also received in-kind donations during 2022 of expired can goods and various food items from local grocery stores and we receive used clothing items from the public. We do not accept household items or furniture items because we focus on helping the homeless who live outside or outdoors. We estimated the fair market values of these in-kind food and used clothing items and included this in the Line 1 total. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Part 3 - Line 28 Program Service Accomplishments: The Shepherds Office is open every day except Sunday. Our location has a lot of visibility. We are well known in our local community and easily accessible by people in need. Close by to us is the local psychiatric hospital, the Federally Qualified Health Center, the nearby state prison and the local State Service Center. We see a lot of poverty and crisis situations filled with chaos and desperation. Our local grassroots volunteer team serves on the front lines of despair, untreated mental illness, hunger, homelessness, loneliness, unemployment, severe addiction and hopelessness. There are approximately 100 homeless persons who live outdoors in the Georgetown, DE area. We also serve motel moms and car dwellers who are the invisible homeless. Each month over 2022, we gave out approximately 2,000 Free Grab & Go Hot Healthy Meals. Each hot meal is home made and is sealed inside a white Styrofoam Clam Shell Container. With ea”
