Good Samaritan Ministries was established in 1985 by the Carbondale Interfaith Council to support individuals and families experiencing hardship. Our mission is to provide shelter, food, counseling, and advocacy to those who are homeless, near-homeless, or in crisis while helping people move toward stability and independence.
The Emergency Assistance program helps area residents pay their rent or utility bills in order to prevent them from becoming homeless. This is a one-time assistance. The recipient must demonstrate the ability to maintain a normal payment schedule in the future. Our Emergency Assistance Coordinator is Francis Murphy. He can be reached at 618-457-5794.
Volunteer Opportunities in the Emergency Shelter include answering phones 9-5, transporting and assisting clients, and minor maintenance and repairs. The shelter is in operation 24/7, at 701 S Marion. The Emergency Shelter has the capacity to house 30 persons. Our Shelter Coordinator is Francis Murphy. He can be reached at (618) 457-5794.
Volunteers at the Food Pantry stock shelves and fill and are open Monday and Friday from 9:00 am to 11:30 am for inside distribution at the University Baptist Church, 700 S Oakland. Please wear a mask if dropping off. The Food Pantry provides canned goods and perishables to people in need. Area churches and civic organizations provide food and augment federal commodities. We also need volunteers for pick ups. Our Food Pantry Coordinator is Aaron Barnett. He can be reached at (618) 457-0323.
