A mission of the Good Shepherd Catholic Parish
ABOUT
Under the direction of the Good Shepherd Catholic Parish Pastor and the Parish Administrator, the Bethlehem Center and it's services operate as a critical part of the mission of the Catholic Church in Visalia. Each year our small team of paid staff and volunteers and groups help to serve over 7,000 meals each month, 18,000 Food Pantry boxes, nearly 10,000 clothing items to the homeless with children and family, and over 360,000 pounds of food and food products.
​
Without their dedication and your generous corporate and personal support, we would not carryout the mission of the Bethlehem Center with its resources, food pantry and meal services. May God bless you and you continue to support this critical mission for our great city.
