Description:
The Good Samaritan Training Center realizes that you can’t share the love of God with someone who is hungry or inadequately clothed. So the first service that was offered was food and clothing for the needy. Many local organizations have joined with us to provide a nutritionally balanced box of food that includes frozen meats, cereal, bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, and dried, packaged and canned foods, Our food boxes average 35 pounds per household which means we distribute 4,000 – 8,000 lbs. of food each week. The Center has fed over 4 million meals to the poor and needy in our community since opening in 1992. The local organizations that have partnered with us include the United Way of San Joaquin County, KYCC radio (90.1 FM – Your Christian Companion), and the Emergency Food Bank. We also receive assistance from canned food drives from schools, businesses and organizations and cash donations allow us to purchase food from the Second Harvest Food Bank in Manteca for pennies on the dollar. In addition, we now offer nutrition information brochures to each food box recipient to provide guidance for special health needs such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity. This information helps our clients to educate themselves on how to control their health issues. Topics include information about eating from healthy food groups; reading and understanding food labels; and different forms of exercise. Our Food Center is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM – 12:00 noon
