Our Mission
Connecting Children with Families and Keeping Families Connected
Jesus Christ set forth the example of a good shepherd, one who watches over, cares for and guides those in need. It is the work of Good Shepherd Children & Family Services to keep the children in our care safe, to help them heal, to provide them the skills for self care and connect them with those who will provide support throughout their lives.

Children and teens in foster youth are often spoken of in terms of statistics – 10,000 Missouri kids in foster care, the number aging out each year, those who are likely to be homeless or pregnant after leaving foster care, etc. – but they are real, live, one-of-a-kind kids with real stories to tell. In foster homes throughout our community and here at Good Shepherd, foster youth are pursuing education, getting jobs, learning how to be responsible adults … all as they prepare to become members of permanent, safe and loving families. Their hopes and dreams are much the same as other kids’ and with the support of those who truly care, they are doing much more than mere statistics would indicate.

Good Shepherd Children & Family Services is happy to announce that RECESS will return to St. Louis on February 19, 2011!!!
RECESS 2011 is a chance to "party like and adult and play like a kid." Hosted by Gallery Motor Co. in Brentwood, this event gives guests a chance to ride a mechanical surfboard, play human foosball, be a sumo and play a variety of other games usually reserved for kids. All proceeds benefit abused and neglected youth served by Good Shepherd.
Right now, we could use your help! Consider being a sub-committee chair, donating a prize, becoming a sponsor.

Special thanks to Stephanie Gallagher and the Friends of Good Shepherd for spearheading this one-of-a-kind event!
The event offers a way for young golfers to work on their game and provide for those less fortunate. We look forward to seeing them all back next year and then, in a few years, at the Good Shepherd Annual Golf Tournament!
