Message From The Director

From the Desk of the Executive Director Welcome to our webpage.

Since its inception in 1986 Shepherds Fold has provided a home for formerly incarcerated men.

Our founders Mary Kay Beard and her husband Don wanted to provide a place of refuge for men to discover their purpose in life and to become productive citizens. Today our campuses have expanded from a single home to a campus of multiple housing in the West End, a 110-bed facility near Lawson State Community College and a graduate apartment complex in Pelham.

We at Shepherds Fold are grateful for the support we have received from our donors. Shepherds Fold receives no support from Federal or State agencies but relies on the free will offerings of others.

I hope you will partner with us and visit our web page often for updates regarding the needs of
the men in our program. The tabs above will provide you with current information. We would
welcome a visit from you to our campus.


In His Service,

Jack
