In addition to providing compassionate ongoing support services, the Shepherd Center invests in programs throughout the year to continue to provide hope to those in need.

PRAYER BREAKFAST

In partnership with Advent Health, we bring the community together as one, raising awareness through solidarity, prayers and reflection. We join hands with various churches, the City of Tarpon Springs, local government representatives and first responders to pray for the health and welfare of our community.

PROJECT T.H.A.N.K.S

Thanksgiving: In partnership with The Salvation Army, our team and dozens of volunteers are distributing over 1,000 turkeys with all the fixings to families in need throughout Pinellas County and Holiday, FL.  We also extend care to our homeless neighbors with hot meals, hygiene kits, clothing, and shoes, offering both nourishment and dignity during this season of gratitude.

Christmas:  On Monday, December 22nd, we will provide over 800 turkey dinners with full holiday fixings to low-income families. In addition, we will:

    • Deliver meals to the homebound and disabled
    • Provide extra food baskets to those unable to travel to the Shepherd Center
    • Respond to urgent needs for families and individuals in crisis

ADOPT-A-FAMILY

The Shepherd Center brings together children in need with sponsors who purchase and donate unwrapped gifts to families during the Christmas season.  

We are seeking sponsors and donations for our Adopt-A-Family program. Last year, this program brought brand-new toys to over 200 children in our community.

A NIGHT OF HOPE GALA

Over the past few years, the Shepherd Center has experienced overwhelming growth with requests for support from those in need. One of the many ways we offset operating expenses is through fundraising events. Thank you to all who sponsored, attended or volunteered to make our Night of Hope a great success!
