Good Samaritan Ministries of Stokesdale
The second Saturday and Sunday of every month, the Women of Community sponsor a fund raiser for the GSMS. Donations collected are used to purchase 24-1 pound bags of rice and 24-1 pound bags of pinto beans for donation to the food pantry operated by GSMS. Money collected always exceeds the cost of the food; the additional money is donated to GSMS to fund additional food purchases or for assistance to families during a time of temporary crisis. The beans and rice donated to the food pantry are purchased at wholesale cost which maximizes the amount of cash which can be donated to GSMS for its ministries.
The mission statement for GSMS is as follows: "Good Samaritan Ministries of Stokesdale, Inc. is a cooperative outreach ministry supported by local congregations whose mission is to serve those in need in the Stokesdale Community to the best of our ability and as God leads and to gather the community together for worship and celebration of God's presence through Jesus Christ."
As a result of support given to GSMS by Community Lutheran Church, Summerfield residents in need are also given assistance.
