The Shepherd's Hand

Montrose, Colorado

The Shepherd’s Hand is an interdenominational Christian

non-profit, offering a variety of services with unhoused or

economically vulnerable persons in mind. We attend to the

physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people. We do this by

providing individuals and families with a safe environment,

providing food, clothing, a shower, clothes washing facilities,

temporary emergency housing and assistance in transitioning to

employment and/or one’s most appropriate step of life. To fulfill

this mission, we partner with agencies, supporters, and people of

all beliefs and political interests.

The Shepherd’s Hand was founded in response to the Biblical call

to “feed my sheep” (John 21:17), with a strong sense that this

“feeding” was to be lived out not merely by providing lunches, but

rather to make available a much wider range of services. In 2011

The Shepherd’s Hand was officially incorporated as a non-profit

with recognized 501c(3) status. The current facility was purchased

in 2022, making it possible to realize the breadth of this dream.

These are some of the organizations within the Montrose area who partner with The Shepherd's Hand:

180 Ministries -- Their House of Promise is a recovery center for women.
Welcome Home Montrose - Veterans Resource Center
Montrose City Unhoused Roundtable - Collaborating with fellow service providers to dream and build solutions
Calvary Ranch – a retraining program for veterans with PTSD
Weekend meals and more at Montrose United Methodist Church
WAGEES – an org. working with Dept. of Corrections to transition newly released inmates

Hilltop - Community resources agency

Sharing Ministries - local food bank
Region 10 -- volunteers who deliver our pre-cooked meals Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Shepherd's Hand is an approved 501c(3) and an agency of Food Bank of the Rockies which provides food and essentials.

In 2013, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs recognized and awarded Shepherd’s Hand as a “mobilizing resource to support innovative solutions”.
