Connect Locally
We not only serve our community through our partnership with Mountain View Elementary, but we also serve through programs like Feed the Hungry, which provides lunches once a month to the needy in downtown Johnson City, and Joy Prom which celebrates individuals with disabilities and gives them an unforgettable experience with their caregivers.
We know that we can’t do it alone. That’s why we have a network of partners which provides expertise, concentrated efforts, and open doors for us to join them in addressing specific needs in our community. These ministry partners offer many opportunities for serving locally.
Feed the Hungry
Join us in helping those who are hungry by providing bagged lunches. Good Samaritan is asking that each volunteer assemble 10 bags with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of chips, an apple, a granola bar, and a bottle of water. No servers are needed.
We Love Mountain View
Our partnership with Mountain View serves one of the most economically and educationally challenged areas of our city. Since 2010, we have sought to be an encouragement to the school and community through tangible expressions of God’s love. Our goal is to build trust and relationships with the staff, children, and families through direct support and involvement. Great opportunities are before us and there is much to be done!

When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.
