Who is Good Samaritan?

Good Samaritan Community Services is a 501(c) 3 organization that serves communities that are being underserved by traditional community support.   We provide a continuum of integrated services to more than 3,500 individuals from the age of 6 weeks to 90 . We serve more than 1,200 families via offices and locations in San Antonio, Brownsville, and other parts of South and West Texas.

Good Samaritan began as mission of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in 1939 and became an institution of the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas in 1951 under the leadership of Bishop Everett Jones. Since the inception of our ministry, we have focused on serving the health and education, and social and emotional needs of our neighbors.

Our mission to "actively serve as a catalyst for change, supporting youth, individuals, and families by providing excellent community services to overcome economic poverty.” We do this through a continuum of services designed to stabilize families, establish nurturing relationships, and foster self-sufficiency in those we serve through the programs and support we provide via our Family Services and Youth and Teen Departments.
