Child's Promise Campaign
As The House of the Good Shepherd’s 150th anniversary comes to a close, we reflect on a past enriched with evolution, resilience, and dedication from a true friend like YOU. Our vision is to continue innovating better ways to meet the needs of the children and families in our community.
Over 1,600 children came through our doors this year, and we launched two new programs, but we can’t stop there. Our goal is to raise $175,000 to continue providing the best care, essential treatment, and resources, giving children and families a thriving environment to heal and enrich their lives.
We don’t serve “most” children - we serve the children who need it the most, caring for the most vulnerable children in our community. We’ve never wavered from our promise to give children a childhood, and with a friend like YOU who shares our vision of a promising future and believes in our mission, we will continue to do so for the next 150 years. Your friendship and gift are genuinely appreciated.

Why Support The House?
For 150 years, The House has provided round-the-clock care to children and families in our community. Their well-being is vital to the success of our society. In addition to meeting the needs of children and families this year, we are focusing on resources to implement programmatic changes conducive to the ever-changing child welfare landscape and continue our work.
Establishing new revenue streams solidifies a thriving environment, guaranteeing the best care is available for children and families to flourish in our community for generations to come. By contributing, YOU are investing in the community and in children’s futures!
Our community is blessed to have The HOUSE operating for 150 years! So many children’s lives have been saved and enhanced by the great work they continue to do. We believe in their mission and have been proud supporters for almost 30 years.
