Beyond Housing: Helping Families Find Lasting Stability
Message from our CEO Gina Stout


Laura, a lifelong horse lover and trained psychotherapist, volunteers with Shepherd’s House Ministries and Sturrup Purpose to use equine healing, helping participants at the Lighthouse Navigation Center build trust, connection, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging through relationships with horses.

Christy volunteers across Shepherd’s House Ministries, using her handywoman skills and love for “life on life” service to support women at Abi’s House, assist in kitchens, and improve ministry spaces, all while connecting with the community through her welcoming presence and quirky truck, “Uggy.”

Diane, a volunteer in the Men’s Center kitchen, serves over 1,000 meals a month with empathy and generosity, donating equipment, naming a new mixer “Mollie,” and embodying the spirit of giving that nourishes both body and hope for those living in survival mode.

In its first year, the Shepherd's House Redmond Center has provided safety, meals, shelter, and pathways to hope for over 400 individuals, transforming a new facility into a supportive community where guests find basic needs met, connections strengthened, and lives begin to heal, while staff and partners work daily to sustain and grow this life-changing mission.
