Good Shepherd is involved in many outreach programs including:
MONTHLY DIAPER DRIVE
Did you know that SNAP and WIC can’t be used to purchase diapers? This leaves many people in need without a way to get this basic necessity for their children. Good Shepherd collects diapers (any size) at Masses one weekend each month. The diapers are shared with Healthy Steps Diaper Bank. You can find out more about their mission at https://healthystepsdiaperbank.com/.
BREAD GROUP
Fridays, Beginning September 2, 2022, Wednesdays, Beginning September 7, 2022, 9:15 p.m., Parish Hall Kitchen
