There are only a few hours left in the month of July - will you donate a Christmas miracle for a kid facing homelessness?
Right now, more than 1,500 kids in our public school system meet the federal definition as homeless.
We think this is unacceptable!
If you do too, then join us in providing each child with a $100 shopping voucher that can help provide back-to-school necessities, including clothes, shoes and supplies.
Every kid deserves to feel and look themselves, which opens up doors for learning. You can help today. Every dollar goes towards the cause.
Please help us close out Christmas in July on a high note: https://www.goodshepherdnova.org/christmas-in-july

We have a little more than 24 hours left in the first phase of our Christmas in July campaign! ✨
The amazing news is that through your generosity, we have already raised $46,000, enabling us to provide back-to-school shopping vouchers to 460 of Loudoun’s homeless youth. 🎒
With YOUR help, we can push that number to 500 students 👇
- DONATE: We need $4,000, and every dollar helps! ❤️
- SHARE: Please tell your friends, family and coworkers! Every dollar of this campaign goes straight to kids in our community 🙏
Can we do it? It’s up to you! Please support us: https://www.goodshepherdnova.org/christmas-in-july

Dog Day Afternoon Supports Christmas in July Campaign
Thank you to our friends at Dog Day Afternoon in Leesburg for partnering on our "Christmas in July" fundraising campaign!
We are on a mission this summer to help each of Loudoun's 1,500 homeless kids get ready for the upcoming school year. THe best way for us to help so many is with a $100 shopping spree at our retail thrift stores, but any donation helps reach our goal.
Stop by Dog Day Afternoon and grab an ornament and help us reach our goal, or donate here: https://www.goodshepherdnova.org/christmas-in-july

We are so grateful for the volunteers from Loudoun Serve Camp who joined us at the main Good Shepherd property this week.

Every Monday (that's today!) this month, the first $1,000 of donations will be matched. That means your donation goes twice as far on the first day of the week! Don't do anything different, just give as you normally would and we'll take care of the rest.

Thank You to Rosendin Electric and the Merrifield Garden Center!
We wrapped up National Volunteer Week and Earth Day in the most spectacular way, and we couldn't be more grateful 🙏
Thanks to the team at Rosendin and the Merrifield Garden Center, our program participants now have a house garden to enjoy fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs 🪴
Rosendin's Sr. Pursuits Manager Tiffany Abbott said it perfectly in explaining why her team spent their day with us. Thanks for sharing your time, talent and treasures in making this possible.
Thank you to all our partners in the business community, who continue to generously support the mission of Good Shepherd of Northern Virginia! We couldn't do what we do without YOU!

Thank you to the wonderful donors who helped make Give Choose a successful day for Good Shepherd of Northern Virginia!
With your support, we raised nearly $3,000, all of which will help the women who participate in our programs get and keep moving forward in life.
Specifically, this fund is available for vehicle repairs, gas and rideshare credits for women and their children.
By alleviating transportation barriers, we can empower the women in our shelters to attend job interviews, medical appointments, and other critical activities, thereby enhancing their ability to regain independence and stability.
This initiative recognizes the significance of reliable transportation in breaking the cycle of homelessness and strives to contribute to the overall well-being and self-sufficiency of women in need.
To keep supporting this fund outside of Give Choose, please donate on our website: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E349989&id=1
Our Give Choose Day celebration continues, as we spotlight the success story of Sarah, a recent participant in our program.
Not having access to reliable transportation hurts more than just the driver - in Sarah's case, it was her three children also. Not being able to move forward can snowball into a generational problem.
Today, with the help of the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties, we're raising money to support our new Transporation Fund.
Our goal at Good Shepherd is always to help women and their families move forward, and Sarah's family has done so - thanks to your support.
Please donate today for more success stories like Sarah's: https://www.givechoose.org/nonprofits/goodshepherdnova
