How to help
A hot meal. Clean clothes. A safe place to stay the night. Imagine trying to access these basic necessities every day.
Every donation to Good Shepherd makes an immediate impact on someone’s life.
By helping Good Shepherd, you’re helping someone find housing they can afford. You’re connecting people with mental illness to the medical care they need. You’re providing support to those struggling with addictions. You’re helping a homeless Veteran find their way home. All services are provided with human dignity and the recognition that every life has value.
Your support changes people’s lives for the better. Your gifts make Good Shepherd’s vital work possible. Every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, every effort to grow awareness about the struggle of people who are homeless and at-risk is needed and appreciated.
Together, we can change lives—today, tomorrow and in the years to come—in the city we share and love.
