Matthew 25
Good Shepherd provides financial support to local people in need
‘I tell you, whenever you did this for one of the least important of these followers of mine, you did it for me!’
Matthew 25 supports local individuals with financial needs such as rent, security deposits, heating, electric and fuel bills, clothing and medical/dental expenses. Volunteers also coordinate with other local agencies for larger expenses.
Additionally, several thousand dollars are contributed every year to local charities such as House of Care, Catholic Charities, the Interfaith Mission, Young People Who Care, and Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
