The Good Shepherd Children's Home began under the leadership of Bro. Woodrow Medlock and shortly after was under the headship of Fred and Martha Kemle who continued to serve faithfully for twenty-seven years. They became affectionately known to the children as "Uncle" Fred and "Aunt" Martha." They served as "Mom and Dad" for at least some period, to over eight hundred young people during that time. Since Uncle Fred's death in 1992, the home has been under the leadership of several loving couples including Mike and Sandy Glanzer, Jim and Patty Scalf, and Mike and Barb Juneau. Currently the Home is under the leadership John Jones as President and Randal Graby as Director with Robert and LeeAnn Brown serving as houseparents. The main home, built in 1964, is approx. 8,000 sf and can easily accomodate 28 children. We have a girls wing with 7 bedrooms, a boys wing with 7 bedrooms, a large kitchen and dining room, a family room, laundry room, office and lots for bathrooms. We are also blessed to have a small gymnasium on the property that is used for recreation and schooling and a small pond.

Grow Our Kids is focused on taking childhood hunger out of the equation so that kiddos in difficult situations can thrive as early learners. The mission is to nourish young learners by filling the gap for underserved, local children. We serve our mission by creating and running year-round programs in coordination with year-round local schools. While incredible summer, weekend, and holiday programs exist serving traditional calendar schools, no other programs exist in our area that serves the particular needs of year-round children who go on a 3-to-4 week long "track-out" breaks every quarter. This presents a very real, very large gap in our community particularly in the fall, winter, and spring months when many of the traditional summer programs are shuttered. Year-round families are left without resources and children often go hungry. We hope to nourish young minds and bodies so that low-income children return from track-out breaks poised to succeed in the classroom. ​
