What Sunday Breakfast Mission does

Sunday Breakfast Mission is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1893 and headquartered at 110 N. Poplar Street in Wilmington, Delaware. The organization provides emergency shelter, meals, and faith-based rehabilitation services to homeless men, women, and children in the greater Wilmington area. Its core programs include an overnight guest shelter, the New Life Program (a long-term Bible-based rehabilitation initiative launched in 2005), a nightly community meal, a food box distribution program, a medical clinic, and seasonal programs such as a youth basketball camp, a back-to-school rally, and an annual Thanksgiving banquet. In 2025, the organization reported 76,915 nights of safe shelter provided and 193,187 nutritious meals served.

The organization operates Urban Vintage as a wholly-owned thrift store social enterprise at 500 W. 2nd Street in Wilmington, providing low-cost clothing and household items to community residents and free items or vouchers to shelter guests and program graduates. A Vehicle Donation Program channels in-kind contributions to individuals and families needing transportation. Sunday Breakfast Mission generates revenue through a diversified mix of individual donations (one-time and Monthly Hope Partner recurring), grants from foundations such as WSFS CARES Foundation, planned giving instruments (wills, trusts, donor-advised funds), and thrift store retail proceeds. The organization is ECFA accredited, is affiliated with the Gospel Rescue Mission Fellowship, and broadcasts Wings of the Morning via WDEL radio to support community engagement and donor outreach.

Sunday Breakfast Mission is led by Rev. Tom Laymon, who serves as Sr. Pastor, President and CEO. The organization employs 11-50 staff, operates exclusively within Delaware, and reports outcomes such as 308 New Life Program graduates since 2005 and 406 individuals beginning a new faith relationship in 2025. Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with a stated meal cost of $2.83 used as a donor giving metric.
