At the Good Samaritan Network (GSN), our mission is to serve the needs of Hamilton County residents who are at risk or underserved. We understand that life can be tough sometimes, and we're here to offer a helping hand. GSN is a collaborative network of non-profit organizations, social services, local government, pantries, and businesses that work together to ensure that those in our community who are at-risk have access to the support and resources they need.
We use two different methods of helping people: direct services and indirect services. Our goal is to ensure that each person who comes to us for help gets the support they need in the most efficient and effective way possible. We care deeply about our community and are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
A community thrives when its residents can provide for themselves and their families. Meeting the needs of people in emergencies or crises is our passion. We serve our community directly (clients) and indirectly (Network). We are convinced that a combination of things affect the stability of individuals and families, including: education and training, sufficient income, and even an understanding of health issues. Addressing these and other life issues affects people's basic needs - and that, in turn, strengthens our community. Our goal is to provide a hand-up and strong opportunities for personal empowerment. We are consistently multi-tasking and working together to address individual, family, community, and Network needs, all designed to achieve a healthy, strong, and vibrant Hamilton County.
