Good Samaritan believes all families and children deserve the opportunity to succeed. We provide skills, support, and resources to help overcome poverty and displacement, building a better future. Founded in 1894, Good Samaritan was part of the settlement house movement, inspired by leaders like Stanton Coit and Jane Addams. Initially serving immigrants from Europe, we later focused on supporting those fleeing political and economic turmoil, including Latin American immigrants and Native Americans. After the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, we rebuilt our Family Resource Center, continuing to pioneer family support services.
Today, we use a dual-generation approach to help both parents and children thrive, ensuring families succeed and create a brighter future.
