The Good Samaritan Network - Home of the Chelsea House

We thank you for visiting us today! Take a look at what is happening with the Chelsea House.

Homeless women and their children in our area face many challenges and are in need of help. It is the mission of the Good Samaritan Network to be a part of solution to this ever-growing problem. Through various programs, we are able to help meet the needs of the homeless; thus, offering them encouragement and hope in God. The Good Samaritan Network is a non-profit Christian charitable organization that networks with like-minded agencies and ministries for the purpose of restoration to individuals who find themselves facing at or near homelessness. It is our goal to reach out to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our ladies in need.  Thank you for visiting our website. Find out more about our Assistance Programs
