Your generous donation will help provide a Thanksgiving 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!

MISSION

To be present to the homeless and most neglected members of our community. To offer a broad range of compassionate programs and services to enhance the quality of life while inspiring hope and promoting human dignity.

VISION

To alleviate the effects of poverty while striving to eliminate chronic homelessness within our community.

VALUES

HOSPITALITY: The overarching value as inspired by St. John of God is embedded in all we do as we create opportunities for transformation and welcome others with generosity and openness.

QUALITY: To provide excellence in service delivery.

RESPECT: To be lovingly present and open to others.

RESPONSIBILITY: To assume a duty of care for those who use our services.
