The Good Samaritan Foundation was established to financially support the mission of The Good Samaritan Boys Ranch and ensure the sustainability of the organization.<\/p>\n

Good Samaritan Boys Ranch is on a mission to confront the forces that push families into foster care and transform the systems that fail youth as they leave it. Founded in 1959 as an orphanage north of Springfield, Good Samaritan has since blossomed into a spectrum of residential and community-based services that brings enrichment to youth and families in the Missouri foster care system. Last year, Good Samaritan served over 390 children and families, helping prevent the cycle of trauma, family separation, and homelessness for generations to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
