The Good Samaritan House is a thrift shop started by Wesleyan Chapel in 1993 and is located across the street from the church and just before the stop light headed towards Hampstead. Clothing and household goods at very affordable prices are available to the surrounding community. It provides assistance to people in our area with clothing when disaster such as a fire strikes and proceeds are used to contribute to the 4 C’s Food pantry in Hampstead, and also to assist individuals experiencing financial difficulties with prescriptions.
The Good Sam is operated entirely by volunteers. Its hours are Fri. 9-11, and Sat. there are two shifts, 9-12 and 12-3. We need 6 volunteers each week, 24 most months, or 312 for the year.
How can you help:
Donations: People can donate gently used clothing, household items and some small furniture items (please check before bringing furniture items as space is limited)
Challenge: You can challenge your Sunday school class or fellowship group to volunteer one three hour shift on a Saturday.
Volunteer: Need people to sort through donations, price household items, stock and straighten clothing, conduct sales. Also need individuals with trucks who can carry trash to the Pender Recycling Center approximately once a month, must have sticker for center.
