Keeping older adults connected and living well... The Shepherd's Center of Raytown is a private, non-profit, interfaith, non-discriminatory organization whose purpose is to utilize the gifts of individuals in our community to promote continued personal and spiritual growth and help maintain the dignity and independence of all persons, focusing on adults 55 and older. All programs and services are developed and implemented by the older adult participants, based on the needs not currently being met within the Raytown community.
