about Good samaritan center

The Good Samaritan Center of Douglas County is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit incorporated with the State of Georgia since 1986. The mission of The Good Samaritan Center is to show compassion and acceptance to all individuals and families as we address food insecurity through our client-choice food pantry. Our goal is to increase access and improve the overall service experience, making food assistance more convenient and reliable.

The Center is open every weekday morning from 9:00a.m – 12: 30p.m as well as Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5: 00p.m– 7:00p.m. We serve families from across West Georgia and Metro Atlanta, most of whom reside in Douglas, Cobb, Paulding, Carrol and Fulton counties.

Food distribution through the client choice food pantry has increased steadily for several years, with dramatic increases occurring since 2022

Food and household items are sourced through the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Maximum Impact Love Food Bank, through donations from retailers such as Publix, Sam’s, Walmart, Amazon, and FedEx and through donations from area churches and individuals.

Beyond the fight against food insecurity, Good Samaritan serves as a reference point for our neighbors. Specially trained volunteers have conversations with each individual and can provide contact information to other social service organizations if needed. Through our association with the Department of Family and Child Services, we’re able to help with SNAP, W.I.C., TANF, CAPS, and Medicaid applications, recertifications and changes.
