In Memory of Joseph T. McLaughlin

We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Joe McLaughlin, who was a member of Good Shepherd Services' Board of Directors or President's Council for more than thirty years. Joe was an extraordinary leader, friend and mentor, generous beyond measure in sharing his expertise, time and resources. Instrumental in the growth and development of Good Shepherd Services, and a friend to the entire child welfare community, there are no words to describe our loss or how greatly he will be missed. more

Remembering Jeffrey F. Buckalew

Good Shepherd Services mourns the loss of our beloved friend and Board member, Jeff Buckalew, his wife Corinne and their two young children. Jeff and Corinne were dedicated members of our community, who showed remarkable compassion and commitment to the children, youth, and families of Good Shepherd. They will be deeply missed. more

Under our plan, Groundwork will become part of our Brooklyn network of community-based programs enabling us to have greater impact than ever before. more
