Diakonia, Ocean City

Diakonia is more than just a name; it’s a testament to the organization’s commitment to serving those in need. This vital non-profit on Maryland’s Coast has been a cornerstone of support for the West Ocean City community and beyond, offering a lifeline to individuals and families facing challenging times.

While Diakonia’s headquarters may be in Ocean City, its reach extends to the entire Delmarva community. Here’s a glimpse into the essential services they provide:

  • Emergency Shelter: Offering a safe haven for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
  • Food Assistance: Providing food staples and essentials to combat hunger and food insecurity.
  • Clothing and Household Items: Supplying necessary clothing and household goods to those in need.
  • Case Management: Offering personalized support and guidance to help individuals overcome challenges and achieve self-sufficiency.
  • Housing Assistance: Assisting individuals and families in finding stable housing and preventing homelessness.

Diakonia’s work is made possible through the generous support of the community. Here are some ways you can contribute:

  • Volunteer Your Time: Dedicate a few hours each week to help with food distribution, sorting donations, or providing companionship to clients.
  • Donate: Monetary donations are crucial for supporting Diakonia’s programs and services.
  • Donate Goods: Contribute gently used clothing, household items, or non-perishable food items.
  • Spread Awareness: Share Diakonia’s mission with your friends, family, and community.
  • Shop: Support the Diakonia Thrift Store located at 12507 Sunset Avenue, Ocean City – a portion of their proceeds benefits the homeless community. All shop sales end up making up 10% of Diakonia’s entire budget.
