GOOD SHEPHERD COALITION
Good Shepherd Coalition (GSC) is a
Macomb County, Michigan based nonprofit who seeks to help individuals & families who are facing a household crisis.
GSC is able to help bridge the gaps required to receive greater assistance from state and local agencies. Through small financial assistance we intervene in crisis to place the household at a fresh start.
In addition to small-partial assistance for evictions and utility disconnections, we offer food pantry referrals and provide resources to help meet needs.
GSC has spent 30 years building strong connection within our community so that we can be a powerful resource for our faith-based supporters and every household we assist.
GSC offers guidance through crisis.
We were created by and continue to be a long-utilized resource by local faith and community-based organizations, and a network partner for countless other federal and state recognized programs.
Our staff members are available
Monday - Thursday
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
We can be reached at:

How We Help...
Staff is educated in human services, social work, and advocacy. They possess the complex training, resources, and know how to best assist the needs of those who are at risk for homelessness, loss of basic needs, and hunger.
GSC operates solely on donations, and helps each client on an individual basis without bias or discrimination, with equal effort, compassion, and empathy.
In the past several years GSC has assisted just over 3,500 families with coordinated funding of over $3 million dollars.
The above numbers do not include our holiday assistance program. Annually, GSC coordinates holiday assistance to over 250 families. This assistance spans: Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Our members provide dinners along with gifts and baskets for children.
GSC also works with community-based agencies to promote positive parenting and family education throughout the year.
Upcoming & Ongoing
GSC has an annual fundraiser and ongoing events
supporting advocacy and education towards current community needs.
