Mission

The Good Samaritan Center’s mission is to assist families and individuals in emergency situations. We work closely with other organizations to form a “network of helping hands.” Our motto is “if we can’t help, we should know (or be able to find out) who can.”

History

The Good Samaritan Center is a private, non-profit social service agency. It is funded by churches, private contributions, and fundraising.

It was started in 1972 under the direction and financial support of seven Jackson churches. Since that time, The Good Samaritan Center has grown to include a main office in Jackson and a branch in Laurel, Mississippi.

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!
