Our volunteer groups have been busy! We’ve had plenty of helping hands around our properties this week, checking off some important to-dos from our list. ✅

🖌️ Nuna Baby and Iron Mountains came and helped us out with some painting at our Coatesville office. The coat of paint was just what the room needed to brighten the area up!
🪴Brownback's UCC spend the morning at our Phoenixville office, planting flowers, weeding, and coloring cards to brighten our participants day.

Both of these groups are faithful partners of Good Sam and we look forward to their service days every year!

Let’s hear it for their incredible giving hearts! 👏

Let’s put ourselves in some of our neighbors' shoes. 👟

For those living paycheck to paycheck, the questions and decisions they make on a day-to-day basis are different than those with higher incomes.

🏖️Instead of where to go on vacation, they are asking what they will do if someone gets sick.
🩺Instead of which doctor to go to, they are asking if they can afford to miss work to go to an appointment.
👩‍💻Instead of career development, they ask if they’ll get enough hours to cover the costs of daily expenses.

These are referred to as ALICE households, families, and individuals who are employed and working hard but still don’t make enough to cover basic necessities.

ALICE families are not "unemployed" or "irresponsible." They are often working, caregiving, commuting, budgeting, and problem-solving nearly every waking hour.

And when expenses get too high, and their housing stability is threatened, we are here to provide support on their journey to stability. 🏠

📆Mark your calendars!

For the entire month of July, your donations to Good Sam will be MATCHED up to $75K, thanks to some generous sponsors, helping us reach our $250,000 fundraising goal. That means double the impact and double the compassion!

Get ready to give generously and help our neighbors facing homelessness find home. 🏠

Our community never ceases to surprise us with its support.💙

This morning, we were honored to receive a $5,000 grant from the Thrift Shop at Phoenixville Hospital and Phoenixville Hospital - Tower Health. These funds will support our work and help us carry on the incredible impact of Phoenixville Women’s Outreach as we expand to serve more women facing homelessness in our community. 🤝

Thank you for caring for those in our community working hard to overcome homelessness.

Good Sam gives back 🤝

We receive so much love and support from our community, so we wanted to spend some time giving back. Good Sam staff had a blast sorting food that will help those in our community fighting food insecurity!

Grateful for a team that loves to serve! 🧡💙

We were so honored to join the Kennett Square community for a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the revitalized Birch St! 🌳

Thank you to the Kennett Trails Alliance and Square Roots Collective, and all who made this transformation possible. 🤝It was a joy to join local businesses to welcome the public to the new space!

We serve dozens of men overcoming homelessness out of our Kennett Square housing every year and are grateful for the support of our community who allows it all to happen.

✨Here’s to brighter futures on Birch St!

It’s hot outside! ☀️Both Chester and Lancaster counties are under a heat advisory right now, and that has a big impact on our neighbors currently facing unsheltered homelessness.

Want to help? A cold bottle of water goes a long way! 💧 Our Outreach Resource Coordinator is looking for bottles of water and electrolytes to hand out to our neighbors in need this summer and ensure they stay hydrated and safe.

🚨DONATION NEED 🚨

We need a new washing machine! The washer at one of our Ephrata locations has reached the end of its life, and we are looking for a replacement.

Want to step in and save the day for our participants who call the building home? Donate the washer itself or the monetary value to purchase a new one by emailing [email protected].

A big thanks to these students from the Renaissance Academy who rolled up their sleeves and put some hard work into beatifying the parking lot across from our High St. properties!

We love seeing young people step up to serve their neighbors facing homelessness. 🧡💙

Double the reason to celebrate! 🎉🎉

Garrett has been faithfully putting aside funds every month into savings and recently met his goal, an amount we were excited to match through our Matched Savings Program.

And that’s not all. 🥳 This month, Garret also celebrated one year of sobriety!

Garrett came to Good Sam several months ago after facing homelessness and has since worked his way through our program. Both milestones reflect all the hard work and perseverance he has put into regaining stability, and we are incredibly proud to walk beside him in this journey.👏

Way to go, Garrett!
