Programs Supported by Your Donations

The food pantry provides supplemental groceries on a monthly and emergency basis to eligible clients. We current serve over 400 families, serving an average of 250 families a month. Added to the food pantry we are distributing senior boxes and military share boxes in collaboration with the Mercer County Food Bank. We offer a cooking class to show attendees how to use the food from the food pantry or their pantry, along with a community garden to show people how to grow a garden and use the fresh produce.
The hot meal program is for individuals and families in need of food and/or fellowship. We serve over 1900 meals monthly.

Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

With the challenges people are facing, it is more important than ever for people to have a place to turn in their time of crisis. The current cuts in SNAP benefits, decreased government funding, increase food and gas prices, and limited resources the need is expected to continue to grow. The Good Shepherd Center strives to meet all of these needs.
