VICKSBURG, MS – Ahead of the upcoming holiday season, Good Shepherd is seeking partners to help with two upcoming community holiday programs: Thanksgiving boxes, and their Elf Magic Program.

“Unfortunately, there are many families living in our community who are less fortunate.  There are seniors having to fend for themselves and parents working multiple jobs just to make ends meet in order to buy Christmas presents to create a memory.  Like you, our hearts go out to those in need, not as a handout but a helping hand to provide for themselves and their families. Community partners make our mission become a reality,” said Cindy McCarley, Executive Director of Good Shepherd, “With your partnership, we provide seniors who for some may be their last Thanksgiving, a Thanksgiving box.  Your support makes possible a lasting Christmas memory for a child through our Elf Magic Program who otherwise might not receive that much wished for a bike, doll, game or toy.”
