• Our popular Food for a Day program invites interested donors to provide daily meals for as few as 25 residents or the entire populations for one day. The current cost of providing food for one day at Shepherds is $658.
  
• The Shepherds Care Program is our most active giving program and was established to encourage regular giving on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Donors can participate with a gift of $50, $100 or more per month.
  
• The G.A.P. (God Answers Prayer) Fund is a major donor program that helps make up the difference between what families are able to pay and the actual cost of care. Participation in the G.A.P. Fund begins at the level of $1,000 per month.

In addition to these programs, which fund our day to day cost of care, Shepherds has various needs throughout the year. We address these needs through the Current Appeals program which is our direct mail effort to advise current, past, and potential donors of on-going needs for which we need their prayers, and if God would so direct, their gifts.

We strive to be good stewards of what God supplies. Your questions, concerns, and suggestions are important to us.
