We are collecting new stuffed animals to go into Easter baskets for children residing at The Good Shepherd Center. This center serves approximately 1,000 homeless women and children annually, and houses up to 93 women and 45 children each night. Through comprehensive programs, they help homeless women every step of the way, giving them the tools and support they need to achieve self-sufficient lives.
