Shepherd’s House Ministries is urgently appealing to the Central Oregon community as its protein supplies reach critically low levels following a mandatory 17% federal reduction in food support. This significant cut has severely impacted the organization’s ability to provide nutritious meals to individuals and families in greatest need. Currently, freezers at both the Bend and Redmond locations are running nearly bare.
In response, Shepherd’s House Ministries is launching the “Protein Power Drive,” a week-long effort aimed at replenishing their depleted meat and protein reserves. The organization is requesting community donations of high-protein foods, including:
– Chicken, beef, pork, and other meats
– Eggs
– Peanut butter
“We’re facing an urgent shortage that affects our ability to serve our community effectively,” said Curt Floski, Executive Director at Shepherd’s House Ministries. “Your donations directly feed families and individuals who depend on us daily. Every donation will make an immediate difference.”
Donations can be delivered to:
– Bend: 1854 NE Division Street, 97701
– Redmond: 1350 S Hwy 97, 97756
Monetary financial contributions are also welcome and can be made online at shministries.org. Please join Shepherd’s House Ministries in ensuring no one goes hungry.
