About Good Samaritan
Lasting change happens when we empower people to work their way out of poverty. At Good Samaritan, we are learners who study the causes of poverty and its effects on individuals, families and our community. We use that knowledge to continually innovate new ways to accomplish our mission of finding solutions to poverty and homelessness. We base our tactics on our own history of success and on national best practices, brought locally and customized for our community.
