The Shepherd’s Center
                              of Greenbrier Valley

                               Mission Statement:
      Shepherd’s Center at Greenbrier Valley is an interfaith
    ministry to sustain mature adults to live independently by
     providing opportunities for lifelong learning, community

         service, caring relationships and spiritual growth.
                    Shepherd’s Center Programs:

Friendly Caller Program - We initiated an updated program with
48 recipients and 36 volunteers calling and making sure our home
bound older adults are doing well. It is a great time to chat and
develop new friendships.
Adventures in Learning - Our Spring session was cut short due to
the COVID-19 pandemic and our Fall session will be virtual event
with six weeks of classes for all to enjoy. Go to our website to
register for this session. Classes begin the end of September.
Transportation Services - Our transportation service is now taking
our older adults to medical appointments, picking up groceries, etc.
Many still are not going out so requests have been at a minimum.
Gwen’s Meal Delivery - Delivery of a home cooked meal has not
stopped during this time of the virus. Churches have been preparing
the meals and our drivers are delivering. We are now delivering 110
meals each week for eastern and western Greenbrier County.
Information, Referral and Counseling - The SCGV office is
opened five days per week to take the numerous calls for
assistance in senior matters. We partner with local organizations if
there is a service we are unable to provide.
Handyman/Community Helpers - Volunteers help recipients with
minor repair projects, changing light bulbs or smoke detector
batteries, wheelchair ramps, grab bars, etc. to help them stay in
their homes safely.

                As people age and add days to their lives
                Shepherd’s Center adds life to their days.
We ALWAYS need volunteers and if you would like to join our
Shepherd’s Center family, just give us a call! Likewise, if you
 know of anyone who might need our services, call our office.
