Introducing The Shepherd’s Circle—a distinguished group of our most dedicated supporters.

From our very beginning 100 years ago, Good Shepherd has believed in kindness and a warm, personal connection with the people we serve—and the people who help us. Today, we are guided by the same humility, generosity and commitment to inclusiveness of our founders, The Rev. John “Papa” and Estella “Mama” Raker, and of their son, The Rev. Dr. Conrad Raker.

That’s why, in this our 100th anniversary year, we’ve launched a new donor recognition society that honors our past while helping ensure Good Shepherd’s future and that of those we serve in the second century and beyond.

Because of donors like you, who share our legacy of caring, we provide much-needed therapy to children with autism, expert rehabilitation care to people suffering from brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke, and a compassionate home to our 159 wheelchair-reliant residents, many of whom are medically complex and require skilled care.

We hope you’ll join us as a Charter Member with exclusive benefits and help keep the Good Shepherd circle of caring unbroken for years to come.
