The Foundation provides financial support in areas that need more than basic funding. Improvements of services, emergency funding for equipment and facility are important to Good Shepherd’s present and future well-being and the well-being of its residents, staff and children.
The Foundation has purchased many items for the benefit of residents, children and staff of the Good Shepherd Community. All these items are meant to enhance the living conditions for our residents, the safety and enjoyment of the facility for our child care children, and the working conditions, safety and performance of our excellent dedicated staff.
