Where to drop off donations:
Items can be delivered to Good Samaritan Outreach during regular hours. Your kindness directly impacts the men we serve and reminds them they are not walking this journey alone.
Events & Drives
Join us in community moments of service and generosity.
Throughout the year, Good Samaritan Outreach hosts and participates in special events, donation drives, and service days that bring our community together around dignity, hope, and restoration. These moments allow us to serve alongside others who care deeply about lifting up our neighbors and strengthening our community.
We also love coming alongside community-led efforts. If your church, organization, business, school, or community group is hosting a drive, service event, or outreach initiative, we invite you to reach out and let us know. We believe in supporting and collaborating with those who are actively investing in the well-being of our community, and we welcome opportunities to participate, share resources, or serve together.
Check back often for upcoming events, or contact us to learn how your group can host a drive or service day with GSO — or invite us to be part of what you're already doing.
