- Cereal; canned chicken & ham
In addition, we always welcome:
- Reusable cloth bags to distribute food
-
Publix gift cards in $5 or $10 amounts help folks supplement with milk and eggs, too!
Your faithful support of this ministry is truly a blessing. Please keep our team of dedicated volunteers in your prayers.

Beware of phone and internet scams!! |
|
PLEASE be alert to telephone and internet scams. We have received information about a few phishing scams that send emails to parishioners as if Fr. Doug has written them. He has not. Fr. Doug will never ask you to buy gift cards or other items for him because he's too busy. To be sure a message is from the real Fr. Doug, always look for the @goodsheponline.org and not Gmail, Comcast, Yahoo, or any other email server.
AND...also be careful about phone calls you receive from callers identifying themselves as the IRS or Social Security. They will never call you either. And they certainly will not ask for credit card information or bank account numbers. Don't worry about being polite. Just hang up.

Your continued giving allows us to bring church into your living room each week. We are still working to bring you digital content, community support, fellowship, and pastoral care. Even if you are not utilizing digital resources fully, know that in this uncertain time, people everywhere are hungry for spiritual connection and are visiting Good Shepherd from around the country and around the world. Please visit the Giving Page on our for ways you can be a beacon of faith, hope, and love.
