Genesis, our domestic violence shelter, provides a 24-hour hotline, safe shelter, resources and support for battered women and children. The shelter comfortably houses 40-45 people and offers individual and group counseling, training, crisis intervention, case management, education, and transportation to survivors. Services are also available to non-resident victims of abuse. Our emergency resources programs provide government commodities, senior food boxes, emergency food and clothing, financial relief, holiday food baskets, and Christmas presents for low-income children. Our thrift stores generate revenue from the sale of donated items to support all of our programs. Unusable paper, metal, belts, shoes, hats, purses and clothing are recycled so nothing goes to waste. Our thrift stores also house inventory for clients who request clothing and household goods from our emergency resources and Genesis' re-start program.

Good Samaritan of the Ozarks exists to communicate the love of God, through Christ, to the people in our community by meeting their emergency needs.
