Higher Ground Outreach Inc

Organization Mission:

Higher Ground Outreach supports individuals facing homelessness, substance use, and mental health challenges through peer connection, harm reduction, and community-based healing—creating pathways from crisis to recovery, purpose, and belonging.


You can donate starting on March 5, 2026 at 6:00 pm

Higher Ground Outreach exists to meet people where they are—especially in moments of crisis—while building pathways toward stability, dignity, and long-term healing.
Based in Georgetown, Delaware, we provide peer support, harm-reduction services, community outreach, and emergency response for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, substance use challenges, and mental health crises. When severe weather strikes or systems fall short, Higher Ground Outreach steps in to provide safe shelter, basic needs, and human connection.
But our work doesn’t stop at crisis response. We believe lasting change happens through consistency, trust, and community. Your support through DoMore24 helps us sustain daily operations, support peer staff with lived experience, and continue offering programs that restore hope, purpose, and belonging.
Every dollar raised helps cover essential costs—staffing, outreach supplies, transportation, and operational needs—so we can remain responsive, reliable, and present for those who need us most.
When you give to Higher Ground Outreach, you’re not just funding a program—you’re helping build a safer, more compassionate community where people are seen, supported, and given the chance to move forward.
Thank you for standing with us.
About Higher Ground Outreach Inc

Higher Ground outreach Inc is a 501 c3 nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life for the homeless and underserved citizens of Sussex County Delaware through the Whole Person Approach model.  In November 2022 we moved into 12 East Pine St Georgetown after 1.5 years of working out of our car.  Once in the new location we were able to add showers/laundry, support groups, daily meals, NA meetings, clothing, and hygiene products, along with goal planning, GED assessments and tests, College Placements, and much more.  As of November 2023 we have 500 homeless and/or underserved in our system.  We have given over $100,000 in assistance.  

In late 2021 we had noticed a desperate need in our community for a safe daytime space for the homeless to heal and grow from their past, our homeless have no reliable day programs to adequately their unique mental, physical, and spiritual challenges.  

We believe that creating and maintaining the Higher Ground House will fill that gap that many of the homeless and underserved find themselves falling in with other traditional federal and state programs.  We have already rented the building and our focus is on maintaining our project at its current level or higher.  Our objective for the next 12 months includes:

  •      Maintaining operations at the Higher Ground House to serve 1000+ homeless and or underserved in Sussex County. 
  •     Create and maintain peer support network of groups within our newly launched Higher Ground's Growth and Stability Pathway where individuals can volunteer for groups addressing a variety of topics including Life Skills, Growth, Grief, Anger Management, Direction, Values, Choice, Boundaries, Stability, Loss, Change, and Daily Living.  
  •        Have 30% of our members working on their GED, Higher Education or employed to open more doors for their future.  
  •       Help 3% of our members (6) into stable permanent housing 
  •       Help any who come to HGO House addicted seek treatment and fight for them to not be lost in the system.  
  •       As a Narcan Training Site, begin to train the community on proper use of life saving Narcan.
  •       Use our Homeless Outreach Team (H.O.T) to reach out to encampments and share Sussex County Resources available. 
 
We understand from previous years that yearly cost to run the Higher Ground House to be $90,000.  We have received around 15% of our expected budget through both private and public donations. This fundraiser would allow us to keep the doors open and allow us time to apply for more funding and government grants opportunities to help keep the Higher Ground House a bright, shining beacon of hope for many more homeless and addicted this year.  
 
We are excited to move forward on the venture that we positively affect the lives of 1000+ homeless and downtrodden individuals of Sussex County.  We hope you will consider contributing and becoming our partner in our efforts to help the most vulnerable in our community.  If you have any questions, please contact me at (302) 470-7497 or [email protected].  We thank you for your time and consideration.
