What does the joy of Christmas mean to you? A gift? Time with family? Decorations and traditions? The birth of Jesus?

At Shepherd Community, the joy of Christmas is the hope for a brighter future. Shepherd puts gifts of joy under our neighbors’ trees, not just at Christmas but all year long…

The Joy of learning to read.

The Joy of being a first-time homeowner.

The Joy of feeling safe and loved.

The Joy of finding a stable job.

The Joy of being a first-generation graduate.

The Joy of a healthy meal with family.

The Joy of trusted friends and a community that cares.

The Joy of a Savior being born to set us all free from our poverty.

Every year, Shepherd serves and builds intentional relationships with over 10,000 unique individuals across all programming, services, and events. And YOU make that possible through the JOY of your giving!

Won’t you join us in bringing the joy of Christmas not just at the holidays but all year long?
