Help us Build Dreams!

With the support of our amazing community and partners, over 15,000 women and children have called Shepherd’s Gate home since 1984. Within the walls of our buildings, glimmers of hope have  transformed into lasting change for women and families experiencing abuse, addiction and homelessness.

As our buildings age, assembling a team of trade partners that can repair and maintain our buildings is essential to the success of the women and children we serve. Their healing journey begins when they feel sheltered and safe. Together we can help them build and live their dreams. We welcome all forms of partnership!
