About GOOD SAMARITANS OF GARLAND INC

Good Samaritans of Garland (often called Good Sam) is a Garland, Texas–based nonprofit food pantry and resource center that provides emergency food, referrals to community services, and targeted support for housed and unhoused neighbors across Garland and nearby communities. The organization operates a weekday pantry, coordinates food drives, partners with local agencies, and offers on-site resource referrals to help clients move toward stability. Over the last several years Good Sam has significantly scaled operations to meet growing need: it reports major growth in people served (from roughly 13,000 individuals in 2020 to over 200,000 in 2024), launched a capital building campaign, and relocated operations to a larger facility at 3319 Edgewood Drive while continuing to expand pantry hours and partner services.
