Christian Service Mission - Good Samaritan Program

Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan Benevolence Program
"Happy is he who is kind to the poor. Proverbs 14:21"

The benevolence Program is a very significant part of CSM. Last year we distributed over 2 million pounds of food to area ministries, shelters, children's homes, after-school programs, churches and the list goes on and on. We provided individuals and families with emergency food packages from our Daily Bread Shoppe. We assisted several organizations through our Food Pantry Voucher program.

In 2004 we partnered with Congressman Artur Davis and his Hunger Initiative program in providing food to the Black Belt Counties of Alabama. This partnership has been such a blessing to hundreds of families. In 2005 we provided food to over 3,346 individuals within these counties. Through this partnership we've had the opportunity to serve with other ministries who are taking services to these poverty stricken counties.

We gave furniture and household items to hundreds of women and families who were moving out of local shelters as well as those who had disasters and fires.
We partnered with the Baptist Association in their Annual Food for Friends Weekend. We also provided food and warehouse space for their Summer Mission Groups.
Partnered with the Boy Scouts of America in their popcorn distribution.
Partnered with Mission Birmingham and local churches in assisting families affected by the hurricanes.
We adopted six families for Christmas, (two families from New Orleans) and one teenager from the Alabama Sheriffs Boys Ranch.
