Welcome to Good Samaritan Center - Laurel

Good Samaritan Laurel is a branch of The Good Samaritan Center, Inc. Our Laurel office services the Pinebelt area with Jones County as its focus. We work hard to help families in crisis by collaborating with other agencies to form a “network of helping hands.”

Our biggest Laurel program is our Community Soup Kitchen that offers a free nutritious noon time meal, Monday through Friday. This single program services hundreds of people on a daily basis.

Kathy Clem
Executive Director

Kathy Clem, originally from Florida, will celebrate her 25th year at Good Samaritan this summer. She has been executive director since 1999. She has a business degree from Belhaven College and is the oldest of five children whom she considers her dear friends. In her spare time, she loves to travel. Most of all she enjoys hiking in the mountains or spending time at the beach. She attends Wells Church, and she is active in our community, serving on a number of non-profit boards. She is a proud member of the 2007-2008 "baddest" class of Leadership Greater Jackson. In 2008, she trained with Marathon Makeover, and completed her first marathon in Chicago. Run Kathy Run!
