Two men from different paths. One shared conviction: faith without action is not faith at all.
Shepherd Built exists to take action against child trafficking. Through our Christian clothing brand, we turn everyday purchases into real impact and give people a direct way to support the cause.
100% of profits are donated to clinics that rescue, restore, and protect vulnerable children. Not a portion. Not after overhead. All of it.
We believe faith is not just something you speak. It is something you live — in your choices, your purchases, and your willingness to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves.
Every dollar of profit goes directly to partner clinics. Zero exceptions.
A retired NYPD Lieutenant and a retired FDNY Lieutenant — united by faith.
We work directly with vetted clinics — no middlemen, no bureaucracy.
Shepherd Built was founded by two men from different walks of life, united by one conviction: faith requires action.
Matt spent two decades protecting the streets of New York City. He knows what it means to stand between the vulnerable and those who would harm them. That same instinct drives his commitment to this mission.
Joe built a life on service — running into burning buildings so others could walk out. Now he channels that same courage into fighting a different kind of darkness: the trafficking of children.
"We met through Bible study and realized that talking about faith is not enough. We needed to act."
This organization was created to turn that conviction into real impact — and give others a way to be part of the fight against child trafficking.

James 2:17 says faith without works is dead. We take that literally. Every purchase, every donation, every share is an act of living faith.

We hold each other to a standard that goes beyond good intentions. We measure ourselves by results — by children rescued, by lives restored.

100% of profits means 100%. We operate with full transparency about where money goes and what it accomplishes. You deserve to know your impact.

Children trafficked and exploited cannot fight for themselves. That is exactly why we must. This is not charity. This is justice.
