• Extending Compassion.
    Building Futures.

    Serving Central Ohio’s most vulnerable neighbors.
    Together, we provide housing, food, and opportunities for independence.

We are a non-profit dedicated to dignity and independence.

The Shepherd’s Hands Foundation was established in 2023 with a simple mission: to serve those who are often overlooked. From safe and affordable housing to nutritious food, emergency resources, and workforce development, we provide the tools and support people need to build brighter futures.

Our work is focused on elderly individuals, adults with developmental delays, and low to moderate-income residents of Central Ohio. We believe that every person deserves dignity, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.
