“What can I say about this place but the people here are heaven sent.”

Michael, guest

“What a great place to get quality food…The people there are so friendly and didn’t make me seem like I was begging. As much as food prices are, I cannot afford to always have food. Thanks so much for places like this.”

Roberto, guest

“Good Samaritans provides much-needed care for a forgotten and underserved group of people and we, as a community, are better for them doing it.”

Tom deNolf, Business owner & Garland Developer

“They are so helpful and provide food for my family.”

Good Samaritans of Garland - "Good Sam"

It’s a great day to celebrate National Good Samaritan Day by picking up some of our bananas and sharing with neighbors, friends and family!

National Good Samaritan Day, also known as Good Samaritan Involvement Day, is celebrated on March 13 every year. It’s a day to celebrate and encourage kindness and selflessness, despite our differences. The phrase ‘Good Samaritan’ is based on a Biblical parable. The day also commemorates the death of Catherine (Kitty) Genovese, who was killed in New York, a little distance from her own home. It is believed that Kitty would have lived if others had intervened during the attack. On this day, we’re reminded to be our brother’s keeper in all circumstances. #NationalGoodSamaritanDay #March13 #feedinghelpingserving #BeAGoodSamaritan #garlandtx
