Rockport-Fulton Good Samaritans Inc
About this Organization
The Rockport-Fulton Good Samaritans staff is made up entirely of volunteers except for a contracted bookkeeper who assists our Treasurer with financial matters, and an information technology consultant who helps keep our Internet and computers functioning properly. Each day, new and different needs and challenges come through our doors, and we do our best to answer them.
The last few years have been disastrous for those with low incomes. Now, the increase in the cost of living has made it virtually impossible for some, especially those on fixed incomes, to pay the increased rent and utility rates. That, along with bills that accumulated during periods of unemployment because of COVID-19, low-income jobs, the lack of affordable childcare in our area, and ever-increasing healthcare costs, our clients are finding it impossible to get back on their feet.
Good Samaritans serve as a local food source for the needy. With the help of our donors, the Coastal Bend Food Bank, and local supermarkets, we can provide staples, meat, fresh produce, bread, pastries, and other food items. Last year over 1650 households and homeless individuals were provided healthy meals.
