Our Mission

Welcome to The Shepherd’s Table

At The Shepherd’s Table, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy, nourishing food — no exceptions. Rooted in faith and guided by love, our mission is to serve our neighbors in the Tri-Cities of Tennessee, especially here in Johnson City, with dignity, compassion, and hope.

We know food insecurity affects many in our community. Far too many families, seniors, and individuals struggle to put balanced meals on the table each day. At The Shepherd’s Table, we’re committed to being part of the solution — offering a pay-what-you-can dining experience where no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. If you’re able to give, your generosity helps provide meals for others. If you’re going through a tough season, please receive your meal as a gift — no questions asked.

Inspired by the Good Shepherd’s call to care for the hungry, we aim not just to serve meals, but to build community, strengthen hope, and connect hearts. Together, we’re fighting food insecurity one plate at a time — offering nourishment for the body and encouragement for the soul.

Everyone has a place here. Everyone has value. Everyone is welcome
