The legacy society of The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond is named for the late Rev. Robert S. Seiler, founder and first executive director of the organization. Seiler, an ordained Episcopal priest, recognized early on that the growing population of older citizens in this country would have increasing needs. Following the model of Shepherd’s Center of America that had its origins in 1972, he pursued ways to establish lifelong learning opportunities and set up services, like transportation, that might enable seniors to stay for a longer period of time in their homes. Working tirelessly with local congregations and with Virginia Commonwealth University, Seiler launched The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond in March of 1984 as a nonprofit education and service organization for older adults.
