Good Samaritan
This area takes its name from the story in the Bible of a Good Samaritan who reached out across many barriers to care for a stranger’s physical needs. With separate areas for men and women, long-term homeless individuals are offered shelter from the elements, three well-balanced, nutritious meals, hot showers, hygiene products, and clothing. They’re also offered resources for learning new job skills and finding work, as well as spiritual counseling.
We typically have 20-30 women in this program, and 60-90 men. On cold winter nights, those numbers are substantially higher.
