The Good Samaritan Center
www.GoodSamaritanCenter.com
The Good Samaritan Center is dedicated to preventing homelessness and hunger by providing basic life needs and access to life skills. The center serves the needs of people in Excelsior Springs, Kearney, Richmond, Lawson and surrounding area.
Families and individuals are helped with food, shelter, utilities, transportation help, household and medical needs. Caseworkers are also engaged in helping clients find the causes as well as a solution to their distress. The goal is to encourage and to urge participants toward self-awareness. Caseworkers assist with budgeting, cooking and parenting as needed. Referrals to appropriate programs and organizations are an important part of the Center's assistance to people in trouble. The Center acts in the belief that most people achieve their goals if they have someone to believe in them.
The Good Samaritan Center is unique is that each client receives one-on-one attention beyond the emergency assistance help to find out what they need to do to avoid crisis and get on with their lives. Many of our senior clients not only need help with basic necessities, but also need a place to come and talk to someone about what is happening in their lives.
The food pantry is the heart of the Center's emergency assistance program. Persons who are having trouble making ends meet are encouraged to come to the Center for food so their money can be used for housing, utility, and other needs.
