Donating needed items helps meet immediate, practical needs for people we serve. These gifts support daily care and outreach efforts across our programs.


Examples of commonly needed items:

  • Clothing
  • Hygiene supplies
  • Food and Comfort Items
  • Other essential goods

Due to limited storage and changing needs, we encourage donors to check current donation guidelines before giving.

Group Involvement

Shepherd’s House Ministries was built through community partnership, and we continue to believe that lasting care happens best when people show up together.

Churches, organizations, schools, businesses, and community groups play a vital role in walking alongside our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness, addiction, and instability. Whether your group is motivated by faith, service, or a desire to care for your community, there is a meaningful place for you here.

Groups can get involved by:

  • Serving together
  • Site cleanup opportuities
  • Hosting donation or supply drives
  • Providing meals or hospitality
  • Offering skills, resources, or expertise

Interested in group involvement? We’d love to help you explore how your group can get involved in a way that fits your values, size, and availability. Contact us to start the conversation.

How Can Kids Get Involved?

We believe compassion can be learned at any age. While most volunteer roles at Shepherd’s House are reserved for adults, there are meaningful ways for kids and families to support our mission.

Kids can get involved by:

  • Helping collect needed items through school, church, or neighborhood drives
  • Creating cards or encouragement notes for guests and staff
  • Participating in age-appropriate service projects with a parent or guardian
  • Learning about homelessness and housing insecurity and sharing that awareness with others

All opportunities for children are designed to be safe, supervised, and appropriate for their age. Interested in getting your child involved? Contact us to learn what opportunities are currently available.
