Good Samaritan Ministries (GSM) provides critical social services to Helena regional area community members by creating a network of care and connecting individuals and families to resources to help create stability in their lives. Our partnerships with other area nonprofits, the homeless shelter, the Helena Police Department, and other entities help us meet the day-to-day needs of vulnerable individuals in our community. In 1989 the thrift store concept was developed to provide employment and training to referred individuals and generate revenue for the assistance program. The assistance services we provide include rent assistance, deposit assistance, clothing and household vouchers, utilities, medical prescriptions, and medical supplies.
In addition, through an outreach location, the Our Place Drop-in Center provides peer support for mental health and addiction in addition to getting clients set up with services such as Medicaid, identification documents, and transportation to medical appointments, treatment, housing….and a safe place to be with Certified Behavioral Health Peer Support Specialists!
