Shepherd's Table seeks to improve quality of life, create a pathway towards self-sufficiency, and inspire hope for the most vulnerable experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, and poverty in Silver Spring and Takoma Park and neighboring areas. It offers hot nutritious meals two times a day, something it has done since starting in 1983.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, it has also provided to-go dinner meals at multiple sites. Shepherd’s Table also runs a free eye clinic, a clothes closet, and a resource center for its clients. Volunteer opportunities abound!

Before Covid-19, TPPC prepared meals at Shepherd’s Table once a month.
