Your generous donation will help provide a nourishing meal for the homeless and vulnerable members of our community.
For the past 60 years, Good Shepherd Ministries has brought the light of hope and the warmth of hospitality to Queen St. East.
For 60 years, Good Shepherd has welcomed people who are hungry, homeless, suffering.
Good Shepherd welcomes and helps anyone who may be struggling with poverty and homelessness. Guests reflect the diversity of our city. While the emergency shelter beds serve adult homeless men, women have access to meals, the medical clinic, pastoral care services and supportive housing. Good Shepherd guests may suffer from disabilities and chronic health issues and have little to no income.
Good Shepherd is a place that promotes human dignity. A place where the invisible, the vulnerable, and the homeless– come first!
