Memorial Donations
Many people like to give gifts in memory of a loved one. At Good Shepherd we have options. One option may be the purchase of a Memorial Stone, etched with a loved one’s name, and placed in our serenity garden, another option may be a monetary memorial donation directed to the fund of your choice or a work with the foundation on a specific area of interest such as memory garden or Chapel improvements and more! For more information, contact Cheryl 320-259-3491
Matching Gifts
Many businesses and/or organizations will match their employee’s giving efforts. The matching gift program is a wonderful opportunity to help us continue our mission and encourage others to consider a donation. Check with your benefits specialist to see if your company participates.
In-Kind Donations
Help support our needs to protect, care for and honor our residents and staff.
Ideas may include and are not limited to popular board and card games, IPads, greetings of well wishes to share with our residents, gripper socks, hygiene items such as razors, adult baby dolls and companion stuffed pets, individual wrapped treats or gift cards for local restaurants to provide staff meals.
All In-Kind Donations need to be made by appointment. Please note, only gently used, clean or new items will be considered for acceptance. Please call Cheryl at our Foundation office at 320-259-3491 to schedule a time.
