Become a Gatekeeper

Will you help keep the gates open all year long? Become a Gatekeeper!

Gatekeepers are Shepherd’s Gate’s group of monthly partners devoted to making sure that when homeless women and children knock on our door, we are able to provide food, safe shelter and life-changing care so that they can escape their past and build a better future.

Because we receive no funding from the state or federal government, this group of partners is crucial in keeping the Gates of our ministry open all year long.

Why Become a Gatekeeper?

1. Homelessness Doesn’t Know Seasons, Ministry Does
The truth is, there are times when giving to Shepherd’s Gate drops so dramatically that we struggle to get every woman and child what they need. When you become a GateKeeper, your consistent monthly support will help meet the needs of women and children currently in our care all year long.

2. Convenience
When you become a GateKeeper and sign up for automatic giving, you’ll know you are making a difference—every day, every month, all year long.

3. More Opportunities
Giving regularly provides more opportunities to reach people in places you may never go. Plus, as a key partner, you’ll get the inside scoop on things going on at Shepherd’s Gate.
