You can make an eternal impact today through serving at Good Shepherd, in the community, around the world, or even by working at Good Shepherd! There's always a way to make an impact!
MULTIPLY YOUR IMPACT

Support Hurricane Relief Efforts Through Lutheran World Relief

If you’re looking to make an impact in the lives of those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, please consider supporting our mission partner Lutheran World Relief, who is on the ground in the most affected communities.

Whether you give through Good Shepherd or donate directly to one of our partners, your generosity helps extend our collective impact in these crucial areas.

Serve With Our Neighbors

Good Shepherd is making a difference in our local communities by regularly partnering with organizations that are sharing the love of Jesus with the most vulnerable in our communities. Reach out to Jeannine Allen, Missional Engagement Executive Minister with any questions.


Serve with Loaves & Fishes!

Good Shepherd is proud to partner with Loaves & Fishes to help end hunger and transform lives. Loaves and Fishes Community Services currently serves 9,000 families or more each week from the surrounding community. Serve with our team as we restock the shelves at the Naperville Market and provide courtesy patrol for food distribution at the Aurora Hub. What a joy to serve together, with fun and purpose. Monthly opportunities are available.
