Shepherd Community Center is a faith-based, nonprofit organization founded in 1985 with a simple but staggering mission: to break the cycle of poverty on the near Eastside of Indianapolis through a Continuum of Care that meets the physical, emotional, spiritual, and academic needs of our neighbors from cradle to career – and beyond. Located centrally within the community it serves, Shepherd offers holistic programs and services for children, teens, adults, and families focused on education, hunger, housing, health, employment, and authentic relationships to create lasting hope.
