Shepherds of Good Hope is proud to present “Lean on Me” as a part of our 40th anniversary celebration. Produced by Eric Eggleston and featuring local Ottawa musicians, this is the third production in our Trilogy of Hope music series. Each song in the trilogy has purpose and meaning; Optimism and Hope is found in George Harrison’s iconic “Here Comes the Sun”. Compassion and Acceptance permeates Ben E King’s “Stand by Me”. Community and Empathy stand out in our inspiring rendition of Bill Withers’ iconic “Lean on Me”. Shepherds of Good Hope is one of the largest organizations supporting people experiencing and exiting homelessness in the City of Ottawa. For four decades, our staff and volunteers have been on the front lines of multiple crises, including the housing and homelessness state of emergency, toxic overdose crisis and COVID-19 pandemic.
