The Good Samaritan Center is a private, non-profit social service agency. It is funded by churches, private contributions, and fundraising. The Center was started in 1972 under the direction and financial support of seven Jackson churches. Since that time, The Good Samaritan Center has grown to include a main office in Jackson and a branch in Laurel, Mississippi.
