Our Team

The Good Samaritan Center’s Ministry Staff is made up of God-fearing men and women that

had an experience with God that changed their lives. Some of these Staff members had that

experience at The Good Samaritan when they came in for services before they wanted to

volunteer. They are able to make up their own schedule depending on the days and hours they want or can give. Matthew 25:35 For I was hungered and you gave me meat, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me. 40 As so much as you’ve done it unto the least of these my brethren, you’ve done it onto me.

Person Centered Services Day Program for People with Developmental Disabilities help the Good Samaritan Center every Friday with general cleaning and hanging clothes for our clients in need

This group feels a sense of acceptance at the Good Samaritan and when they leave they feel a sense of accomplishment.

Special Thanks to Our 2022 "Thanks for Thanksgiving" Volunteers  

The Good Samaritan Training Center gave our community a reason to be thankful during the Thanksgiving Holiday.  We distributed around 300 turkey baskets with the help of 6 of our Board members, our Good Samaritan staff and  with brother Lawrence Cogo’s anointed photography of the event.  

2nd Harvest Food Bank donated 100 turkeys along with KYCC’s ongoing financial contribution which purchased another 200 turkeys along with some of the trimmings.  Potatoes, dressing, fruit and vegetables.  This year’s event again was held at the Good Samaritan Training Center where we offered refreshments, cookies and chips, along with prayer offices inside to offer encouragement and help through faith in Jesus Christ. Then after that the people got in line and received their turkey baskets some teary eyed.  This year’s program God drew well over half our families into the prayer offices.  Only the things we do for Christ will last.

Special Thanks to Our 2023 "Thanks for Thanksgiving" Volunteers  

Since its inception in 1992, the Good Samaritan Center has always celebrated its Holiday programs with the community.  Giving Thanks for Thanksgiving is our annual Christ centered turkey basket give away.  Starting in early October up until Thanksgiving week we distribute over 300 tickets which could be redeemed at our Thanksgiving party for a turkey and trimmings.

Once again, our event was at the Good Samaritan Center.  The decorations included traditional fall décor which also included streamers and balloons. People began to arrive at the posted times on their tickets which began at 4:30pm and formed a line outside our door.  We admitted 3-4 families at a time where they received hot or cold refreshments along with a variety of snacks which included chips, granola bars, cupcakes and the like. 

Our God-fearing Staff then invited them into one of our 8 offices which offered prayer for their Thanksgiving dinner and family gatherings.  Some families went beyond in prayer crying out to God for healings in their bodies, restoring relationships in their homes and some even repented of their sins and were filled for refilled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  Tears and uncontrollable emotions broke out at those times. 

As people left some staggering with their experience with God with big smiles, they went out to the door to our Turkey Basket line. They redeemed their ticket for their turkey-basket which included a good-sized turkey, box/bag of stuffing, 4 lbs. of potatoes, can veggie, can fruit and a can of turkey gravy.  With Jesus being for us we helped our neighbors in our community one family at a time.

Faith Hope and Love but the greatest of these is LOVE.
