My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been a part of Shepherd's Centers over 30 years, served on the National Board for about 10 years, and was co-founder of Mid-North Shepherd's Center, Indianapolis, IN, which continues strong to this date. Shepherd's Centers are designed to touch the heart, mind and spirit of older adults. The volunteers are enthusiastic as they direct the programming and activities, from continuing education through their Adventures in Learning, to service through volunteers drivers to doctors, etc., to community outreach, through trips which a senior would not take alone. Socialization is a strong aspect as they make new friends. Over my professional life on church staffs where part of my portfolio was senior adult ministries I never found a program which could measure up to Shepherd's Centers. I could relate stories of persons who gave up on life, and then discovered Shepherd's Center, which gave their life meaning again, and they could not only grow themselves but contribute to the wider community. As is obvious, I love Shepherd's Centers and could go on and on saying why.
