The Good Shepherd Mission
Founded in 1983
The Good Shepherd Mission is a 501c3 non profit organization. Funding is through in house thrift stores, churches, area businesses, civic clubs, and individuals. We work with other local human services organizations and share resources as available. We serve all walks of life equally. Most of the people we serve are local and live in poverty. One third of the clients we serve are elderly, and many are disabled.
Our Mission
The Good Shepherd Mission exists to serve the spiritual and physical needs of individuals and families. We are a faith based organization that is directed by the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is written that man cannot survive on bread alone (Matthew 4:4), which is why we also feed the spiritual needs through sharing our faith, through fellowship and through partnerships with local churches.
