Anne Marie Noble, Executive Director of Shepherd’s Hours, is thrilled to announce a $50,000 match challenge to benefit Shepherd’s House, a vital resource in our community dedicated to providing shelter, meals, and support services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Through March 1, 2025, every dollar donated will be matched, doubling the impact of each contribution.
“This match challenge is an incredible opportunity for our community to come together and make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most,” said Anne Marie Noble, Executive Director of Shepherd’s House. “We invite everyone to participate, knowing that every dollar they give will go twice as far in supporting critical programs and services.”
The funds raised through this challenge will directly support “emergency shelter beds, hot meals, job training resources, and mental health support services referrals. Last year alone, Shepherd’s House provided services to nearly 200 homeless individuals/families in need of sheltering, including meals, showers, haircuts, blessing bags with hygiene supplies, hats, scarves, gloves, and bus passes.
