Our local faith-based Christian ALL VOLUNTEERS team no employees focus on helping the homeless hungry or lonely every day in Georgetown. 365 days a year Every day we start with a Morning Prayer and Praise hour followed by a free breakfast and coffee. We also have an organizational meeting for all our daily volunteers. Every evening we have a 6 PM Bible Study and on Sundays we have a Church Service for the Homeless. There are approximately 200 homeless persons who live outdoors in our Georgetown Delaware area. Each month we give out approximately 5,400 Free Homemade Healthy Grab & Go Meals from our front porch at 408 N. Bedford Street in Georgetown DE. In 2025 we gave out 66,177 Free Meals. We keep track of every meal we provide because we are an approved Hunger Relief Partner with the Food Bank of Delaware. Every day from 10 am to 3 pm we set up tables outside and give out FREE clean clothing and other provisions supplies. We also provide funding for rents and motel fees.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
