35th Anniversary Giving Circles

An oft-quoted adage says that everything old is new again. In 1974 Good Shepherd Housing & Family Services received its initial funding from a giving circle. Requests went out to families asking that they commit a specific amount of money in order to support our work in the community. Over the years, our efforts have flourished and grown. As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we once again look to a giving circle in order to ensure families have housing and support to thrive in our community. During 2009, we invite 35 donors to give $3,500 or more to support low-income families unable to obtain housing on their own.

Thus far the following donors have joined our 35 for 35 Giving Circle:

• Anonymous
• AT&T
• Bethlehem Baptist Church
• Capital One
• Cheryl Ellsworth and Tom Pardini
• Cathy and Ed Gillespie
• Ron and Bettye Goode
• Kate and Scott Harper (conditional)
