The Shepherd Society buys and markets local products and crafts produced by the families, such as olive oil, soap, olive wood, etc.
Additionally, the Shepherd Society has been instrumental in establishing and maintaining and Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Clinic at the Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation (BASR), a local hospital in Beit Jala. This ENT clinic is the first of its kind in the region and it provides health care for hundreds every month. Equipment was generously donated by the Mustard Seed Foundation and Tear Fund in New Zealand.
There are many other ways that the Shepherd Society reaches out in the community on a periodic basis, such as providing seasonal food and gift parcels, distributing donated clothing, and assisting with relief projects in coordination with other agencies.
