Volunteering doesn’t have to be a solo mission. As we sat down with Heather Salvesen, who is this month’s volunteer spotlight, she shared that her work with Shepherd’s House Ministries has been a great way not only to serve but also to connect with family and friends. Shared experiences with family, friend groups or her women’s Bible study group all have been a catalyst for doing important, life changing things together.

Meet Emily, an incredibly strong woman, domestic violence survivor, ultra-runner and champion for Shepherd’s House. Emily will be running the Moab 240 Endurance race to raise money for SHM. You can help Emily reach her goal by donating here: https://gofund.me/497deb1c

Eco Wellness is a huge part of our recovery program. The outdoors has a tremendous ability to help individuals deal with trauma and aid in their recovery. Whether through exercise, wilderness activities or just appreciating the disconnect from the day-to-day – it can be very therapeutic.
