The Good Samaritans of Eastern Michigan
Our Mission
The Good Samaritans of Eastern Michigan will strive to provide food, clothing, household goods and other necessities of life. Also to the best of our ability the support and prayer for all who ask.
From Humble Beginnings
Realizing that people were hungry EVERY
week, Donna Ruppert began a food distribution on her front lawn.
From the lawn in the cold to our own building at 2523 Imlay City Road. You can see our progress below.
Coming Events
Next distribution is Saturday April 27th
At The Good Samaritans of Eastern Michigan building
From 1pm until 2:30pm
2523 Imlay City Road (at the corner of Wilder Road. Building is in the back behind 2525)
We will be giving out personal care items this week.
All Are Welcome - Come And Share The Love!
Old Shoes!
If you have old shoes that you would like to donate, The Good Samaritans are collecting all manner of footwear to give to the Kiwanis for their effort in creating a park for handicapped children. We believe in this project and knowing that the shoes will be used in the USA makes it even more appealing. Contact us for drop off information. This goes until the end of this month.
Please visit our auction site on Facebook for some fantastic deals. We thank all of those donating items to auction.
We are still collecting bottles and cans as a fundraiser. Thank you for those donations. Every little bit helps.
Requirements
Our requirements are very easy. Our distribution is by client choice. Please follow the instructions given outside. In inclement weather we ask that you remain in your vehicle until you are notified to proceed into the building. For USDA food such as meat you will be asked to provide information and a signature. This is government paperwork and therefore unavoidable. We do not ask for proof of identification. Please bring something to take your food home in. Boxes with handles and laundry baskets work very well. Do not worry about missing out on food, we always supply enough for more than we expect. Remember that we are not your "food supplier". We are a supplementary agency and will not attempt to supply your family with all the food they require for the week. The smart thing to do is to come to us first and then go grocery shopping for the balance of what your families needs are.
