Our Mission
Sunday Breakfast Mission serves the homeless, addicted and impoverished through Christ -centered programs to meet their spiritual, social and physical needs. Under the direction of Rev. Tom Laymon, Sunday Breakfast Mission offers a series of services to help meet the needs of its surrounding community.
●Up to 130 men who would otherwise be homeless call our shelter "home" each night.
●A hot, nutritious meal is served to more than 200 men, women and children each night.
●The NewLife Program offers a fresh start. While here each person is counseled, educated, and trained to become the productive member of society he was created to be.

Our History
In 1893, a group called the Christian Endeavor Society of Wilmington decided to reach out to the homeless men of Delaware. They wanted to provide these individuals with church on Sundays. The ministry opened at 7th and Lombard in late 1893. But soon, in January 1894, it began to provide shelter. Throughout the years and at several locations the Mission has gone far beyond "Sunday Breakfast" to reach out to area children through Sunday school programs and to local women through "Mothers' Clubs." After a short time, these ministries continued to expand to men.
Our Commitment
Sunday Breakfast Mission is a non-profit organization. Costs are average and include the expenses, extra funds will be used to care for hungry, homeless, and hurting people throughout the year. No person is denied services based on race, creed, sex, disability, or national origin. We never sell or rent our supporters' name.
