The members in the group had the conviction to help the poor in their communities and abroad, and in their own small way, have been doing the charity work in all the cities and countries represented in the prayer ministry. The group has been serving at food pantries, and homeless shelters. The group has also been making donations to rehabilitation centers in their communities and passing out care packages to the homeless on the street. Through these works and by the inspiration of God, the desire was kindled for Dorcas Koomson to establish Shepherd Care Foundation in 2019 to be the feet and hands of Jesus to serve the poor, and to see to the plight of vulnerable children, both home and abroad. This is a call to service, which we have gladly said YES to!!. Shepherd Care Foundation is committed to serving the poor in our communities and around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-997312a\" data-block-id=\"997312a\"><style>@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-997312a{min-height:200px !important}}.stk-997312a-container{background-image:url(http:\/\/shepherdcarefoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-23-at-8.06.56-AM-4.jpeg) !important}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-997312a-container{background-size:contain !important}}.stk-997312a-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-997312a-container stk-hover-parent stk--has-background-overlay\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-53ed90e\" data-block-id=\"53ed90e\"><style>.stk-53ed90e{margin-bottom:0px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-53ed90e-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-3e1d754\" data-block-id=\"3e1d754\"><style>.stk-3e1d754-container{background-image:url(http:\/\/shepherdcarefoundation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-03-23-at-8.06.56-AM-5.jpeg) !important}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-3e1d754-container{background-repeat:no-repeat !important;background-size:contain !important}}@media screen and (max-width:767px){.stk-3e1d754 .stk-block-column__content{min-height:400px !important}}.stk-3e1d754-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-3e1d754-container stk-hover-parent stk--has-background-overlay\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-008ab93 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"008ab93\"><style>.stk-008ab93{background-color:var(--paletteColor7,#FDFDFD) !important}.stk-008ab93:before{background-color:var(--paletteColor7,#FDFDFD) !important}.stk-008ab93{padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important}.stk-008ab93 .stk-block-column__content{padding-top:50px !important;padding-right:50px !important;padding-bottom:50px !important;padding-left:50px !important}.stk-008ab93-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-008ab93-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shepherd Care Foundation provides basic necessities. \u201cShepherd Care Foundation is formed to create, show compassion and outreach to society with hope, love by opening our hands generously in a simple act of kindness (meeting basic needs) to the poor and needy in our communities and around the globe.

We will be worthy of trust, will demonstrate fidelity and loyalty to<br>persons and institutions by friendship in adversity, support and devotion to duty; and will not use or disclose information learned in confidence for personal advantage. We will safeguard the ability to make independent professional judgments by scrupulously avoiding undue influences and conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RESPECT FOR OTHERS.
