The Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation is a grass roots, philanthropic organization dedicated to making the northeast Oregon region a healthier, safer, happier, ever more stimulating place to live and raise our families.   

Our Foundation board is made up of business and private people from various backgrounds that are interested in the same things you are -- including developing the quality of life in this region.  Why not join with us by making a tax-deductible donation that will make a positive impact on you and the lives of many others in our community?  Just click on the "Donate" button on the left of this page, and follow the instructions.
