About Us

On April 3, 2001, area churches and pastors opened the doors of Shepherd’s Crossing to collectively address the financial needs of our neighbors in Riley County and St. George. Pastors and parishioners alike pooled their knowledge and resources so our clients’ basic needs could be met uniformly and respectfully. Today, after nearly two decades of service to those in need, we celebrate our volunteers and leaders – who are at the very heart of Shepherd’s Crossing’s success.

The Shepherd’s Crossing officers and board of directors are successful men and women putting their faith into practice. Some are retired; others are still employed full-time in their respective fields, but all believe in supporting their neighbors in need.
