We’re honored to share that Shepherd's Market has been selected as a Community Assistance Fund (CAF) grant recipient from the Junior League of Baton Rouge!

The Community Assistance Fund reflects the League’s commitment to its vision of women as catalysts for lasting community change in the areas of health, education, and cultural development. Each year, CAF grants are awarded to projects that advance this mission and create a meaningful impact in our community, and we are incredibly grateful to be a part of it.

This special moment took place at the Touch A Truck event, making it even more memorable!

Thank you to the Junior League of Baton Rouge for your support and for investing in organizations working to make a difference. 💙
