““How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brther or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”

(1 John 3:17-18)
 

Shepherd's Hope depends on volunteer physicians, nurses, other licensed health-care professionals, and general volunteers to provide quality health care to men, women and children who would otherwise go without the care they need and deserve.

We have been blessed with thousands of caring volunteers who have provided over 75,000 free medical visits over the past eleven years. Currently, we have over 2200 volunteers. In 2007, Shepherd’s Hope volunteers donated services valued at over $2.5 million.
