How can we help you?
Good Shepherd is committed to providing work for the developmentally disabled.
|
Good Shepherd Manor's mission is to provide a structured environment in which to serve the needs of men with developmental disabilities who are not capable of earning their own livelihood or meeting their basic needs. In doing so, we also care for the needs of the families of our residents, who are anxious for their happiness and physical and social well being.
We are committed to showing that all persons, including the developmentally disabled, are made to the image and likeness of God.
We stress to broaden their exposure to life, increase their value to society, elevate their feelings of self worth and become habilitated, if possible, within the community setting.

Why a Sheltered Work Program?
 Good Shepherd Manor is an
organization
committed to the care and treatment of 124 men with developmental disabilities. A sheltered workshop allows the men to perform appropriate jobs in a workshop setting for local industry, giving the residents meaningful work. All of the work we do for our
companies is supervised by production staff
to ensure that your project gets the attention it
deserves, and that you get the results you
desire.
Some of our current projects include:
- 2 piece envelope stuffing - as much as 50,000 pieces per order.
- Pack individual Nutrasweet packets in retail cartons.
- Book labeling - books are marked with a paint marking to be re-sold.
- Brass pressured fitting assembly - for hose adapters and piping.
- Residential & commercial lawn mowing
- Janitorial services
Who do we contract with?
A few of our clients include:
- Nutrasweet/Merisant
- Martin Graphics
- Ware-Pak Books
- Sanford Systems
- Baker & Taylor

Good Shepherd's Sheltered Work Program can be a real resource to your company in a number of ways. We are able to provide you with manpower, yet save you payroll dollars. The services contracted by our clients are delivered in a more cost effective fashion than typical outsourcing. We can bring the staff to you, or the work can come to us. Companies who contract with us find that the Sheltered Work Program gives them flexibility with their internal resources, and options for getting their necessary support work done.

Every organization has a set amount of resources to get the job done. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the amount of work that needs to be done often exceeds your resource base. The residents in Good Shepherd's Sheltered Work Program help you to bridge the gap. By supporting an appropriate part of your company's efforts, your internal resources are freed up, and can be shifted to meet your company's needs. The work gets done, and the demands of the workplace finally match up with the resources to meet them.
It helps our residents
in so many ways
when you give
them work. The work you provide expands their skills, and helps keep their abilities strong by putting those skills to use. By earning a pay check, they help supplement what their families provide for them, and they create their own income source for their personal use. Beyond the financial benefit, giving our residents a job provides more than just the paycheck. The men develop self confidence and a sense of accomplishment that truly adds to their quality of life.
