VERY hard to get in touch with anyone there. Called and left a message, but no one called me back. This may be because I said we had several coats/jackets to bring. Some are brand new. From their website I learned, however, that they don't need coats. Called again today, no one answered phone, n...
This is a great place to take part in the community and help the less fortunate.
Unprofessional staff. Absolutely no compassion for the homeless community whatever.They DO NOT help people there and are only out for themselves.
You're better off on the street. The social workers there are obviously untrained and also not helpful to the guests hardly at all.
I see the male eat...
The work and the caring put in by the staff is amazing. Keep up the good work!
This place is so bad id rather sleep on the street and anyone who donates money to this place is fooling thereself
I picked up a gentleman at NHRMC who was homeless and had been in the hospital for several days after being beaten on the street. When I saw him, he had a cast on and several stitches. He said he had lost his official identification in the melee and that no homeless shelter would take him in...ex...
While I was in North Carolina and on the streets homeless these good people took me in, was going to buy me my own personal identification card and ACTUALLY DO THE RIGHT THING AND CARE ABOUT SOMEONE WHILE THEY'RE DOWN. I'm thinking about moving back up to North Carolina just because of the fact that...
They except you as you are, as long as you can maintain. They promote cleanliness, to avoid the spread of diseases. You can switch into fresh clothes every not. Truly a wonderful system. May God continue to bless them.
Great Food that I would happily pay for but it's free !!! Breakfast is served M-F 7-8am and Lunch from 11-12 noon !!!
From what I hear and see, it seems to be a resource to our community. There is always the other place mercy house on Red Cross.

During a very tough time considering the Covid-19 pandemic I had the very good fortune of having the help of The Good Sheppard Shelter right here in Wilmington. Having pnuemonia at this trying moment I found this organization instumental in overcoming my illness. Not only did they make sure I had sa...
I am currently at The Good Shepherd. At a homeless shelter, STAFF HOLDS ALL THE CARDS. Regardless of whatever problem may arise between resident & resident or resident & staff, a person should be able to 'speak there mind' without fear of being kicked into the streets, as long as what you say is don...
Let me state that I currently stay here . I ve lived in other homeless shelters and this one is by far the worse. Almost every rule is meant too dehumanize us and hinder any type of progress . They take your cell phones around 8 o clock, don t let you do laundry (instead using an exchange system whe...
I recently volunteered in their Second Helpings Station. I was amazed how the community consistently supports this center. It is a well-oiled machine from administration to facility operation to volunteer support. They serve hot, DELICIOUS meals to anyone hungry in the community. They have cle...

Good Shepherd Center remains a constant source of identifying permanent safe and affordable housing for homeless men, women, and children in the region. I am proud to say that I have never been in a community that is this focused on literally ending homelessness. Keep up the good work Wilmington!
I worked at Good Shepherd for almost 4 years. I've seen wonderful things but mainly irrational and vindictive use of force from Programs Manager and Executive Director. I've seen long term staff fired to save money, staff who has called the board in for a formal complaint have been fired afterwards,...
They started off nice till they check your background then we was treated like animals from the slavery days. They don't like black people and all cause something that we was arrested for that was later cleared of. It just havent gotten off the record yet but have been since then. They Judge you bas...
I came here for lunch and then decided to stay at the overnight shelter. Worst experience ever. Staff is rude and they say they care abiut you but they do not. They take your phone from you at check in. If you want a good bed you have to be there by 430 latest 6. Best thing is the food. They tell yo...
Need more places like this. No one should be on the streets. God speed.

Good Shepherd is a wonderful resource to the Wilmington community. They provide a safe and nurturing place for families and individuals to stay while they take the necessary proactive steps to get back into self sustenance and housing. They provide hot, nutritious meals to the community every day. G...
They kick you out pregnant and all don t care where you go and give you food that s someone else leftovers and some of the food have bugs in it
I volunteered for a year at the Good Shepherd Center night shelter a few years ago. I enjoyed it so much! The staff were wonderful the guests were wonderful. I had an awesome experience. I would recommend volunteering at the Good Shepherd to anyone who would like to work with homeless individuals an...
It's a decent shelter. Respect the rules & you'll do fine. There is no air circulation in the dorms for sleeping, so lots of respiratory illness present.
I have lived off and on for a year.Very good shelter willing to help especially if you're working towards a new start I now have moved on because they helped me. Its become very full as of late. I could have NOT made it without them!!!!
