Good Samaritan Center of Loudon County Inc.

Our Mission:
We are a private non-profit assistance ministry serving the emergency needs of people in Loudon County.

Could it happen to you? To your neighbor? To your
family? Most of us already know someone or a family experiencing poverty at some level. Poverty has many faces: loss of job, repossessed auto, house foreclosure, inability to pay utility bills, or buy prescription drugs.

Head of households are having to make hard choices such as, Do I buy food for my family or pay the utility bill? Good Samaritan see this dilemma daily as people struggle to survive. Please help us to help others. The numbers of poor are rising in our county every day.

How We Got Started
In February of 1997 the Loudon County Ministerial Association appointed a committee to explore ways to provide a centralized assistance ministry to those in need. The committee visited the Interfaith Assistance Ministry (IAM) in North Carolina then proceeded to establish plans for similar ministry in Loudon County. A Board of Directors was formed, guidelines were formalized and on October 1, 1997, the Center opened.

The Good Samaritan Center was established as a central location for all the area churches to send their monthly support of food and money to assist us in caring for their poor and hungry.

Modeled after the Bible Story
When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat; and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me; and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear.

Matthew 25:35-36
