Good Samaritan Ministries & Thrift Store

06/02/2026

As our team was reviewing the data we've collected over the past year, we thought it would be fun to share some of the numbers that represent the impact being made in our community.

Good Samaritan Ministries, Our Place, and Street Outreach have been working hard to support our unhoused neighbors, and these accomplishments would not be possible without the support of our community members, volunteers, donors, and partners.

June 2025 – June 2026 Impact Numbers

🏠 11 individuals housed
💙 12 individuals connected to treatment services
👥 1,349 peers participated in recovery groups
📋 3,686 peer visits/sign-ins at Our Place
🪪 37 identification cards purchased to help individuals access services and opportunities

Street Outreach Provided:
⛺ 46 tents
🛏️ 57 sleeping bags
🔹 11 tarps
🔹 12 sleeping pads
947 transportation rides were provided.

May 2026 Clothing Assistance Through the Good Samaritan Thrift Store:
👕 268 articles of clothing distributed
👟 37 pairs of shoes provided
🎒 22 backpacks given to those in need

Every one of these numbers represents a person, a story, and an opportunity for hope. Thank you to everyone who supports Good Samaritan Ministries and helps us continue serving our neighbors with compassion, dignity, and practical assistance. Together, we are making a difference.

This Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸✝️

As a Catholic ministry, we pray for all fallen service members and their families, asking God to grant them eternal rest and peace. May we never forget the sacrifice made for our country and our communities.

“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.”

— Good Samaritan Ministries

As Catholics, we are reminded in Matthew 25:40 that whatever we do for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for Christ Himself.

Lord, bless the mission of Good Samaritan Ministries & Thrift Store.
Bless every family we serve, every volunteer, every donor, and every person who walks through our doors.

May we continue to be Your hands and feet in our community, serving with compassion, love, and faith.

Amen. 🙏

Thank you all so much for the wonderful night at the Saint Francis Dinner. Without your support, kindness, and genuine love for our mission, none of this would be possible. It was truly a great evening celebrating faith, community, and service together. We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you and can’t wait to do it again next year. God bless you all! ❤️🙏🏻
