Where Volunteers Serve

  • Thrift Store: Volunteers play an important role in keeping our Thrift Store running smoothly. They help sort and organize donated items, prepare clothing and household goods for the sales floor, stock merchandise, straighten displays, and assist with other behind-the-scenes tasks. Their time helps us serve shoppers well, make good use of donated goods, and support the ministries of Good Samaritan Ministries.
  • Our Place: A welcoming daytime center where people experiencing homelessness, addiction, or other hardships can find safety, connection, peer support, basic needs, and help taking their next steps toward stability. Volunteers serve alongside our staff by helping create a welcoming environment, assisting with meals and activities, and offering practical support to our neighbors.
