Garth Lynch

Retired Deputy Sheriff

Why did you decide to join the board?

The mission of Shepherd's Home resonates with me.  The necessity for foster care is without a doubt and when you see there is a need, sometimes you must ask yourself, "why not me?"  I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful program. 

Lauren Parker

Director

I am a Christian who loves God, a wife, and a mother of two girls. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family. On a deeper level, I am someone with a strong passion for caring for others, connecting with others, and spreading kindness and love to all. Professionally, I have been a nurse since 2011 and a Nurse Practitioner since 2016. My husband and I were raised in Mesa, Arizona and met in high school. We felt drawn to move to Idaho for my career in early 2017, where we have been raising our family since. We really feel our family roots are growing in Idaho and were thrilled to become part of the McCall community in 2024, where we see ourselves continuing to grow through service to the community.  

Why did you decide to join the board?

I decided to join the Shepherd's home board because the mission of the Shepherd's home personally resonates with my deep desire to serve others and our community. I feel drawn to help and support others who are in their time of need, and believe that my personal and professional background will help me to be an integral part of this great organization. I find it a great honor to have the opportunity to give my time to others in need.

Why did you decide to join the board?

I decided to join the Shepherd's Home Board because I admire the mission of creating a stable family centered home on a foundation of Christian values for children when they at their most vulnerable moments.

Heidi Kreider

Administrator

Wife, Mom, Nana

Why did you decide to join the board?

I joined Shepherd's Home as the Administrator in 2024 after working in the corporate world for several years. I had been looking for a new position that would allow me to serve others when this positioned opened up. Shepherd's Home is the perfect place to do so. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve as the liaison between the houseparents, the Board, the volunteers, and the community. I don't have a job; I have a JOY!
