Through this program, the Shepherd Society seeks to provide basic food supplies to needy families who have been identified by our social workers as having no source of income. Without our assistance, these families would be hungry and become malnourished. Qualifying persons receive a $50 food voucher, which they can use in designated local shops to buy food and other essential household needs. This is a very effective outreach, as a food coupon is capable of sustaining a family of five for three weeks.
