We nourish, educate and revitalize the people in our community.
Noon Meal
With the help of wonderful volunteers, we feed a nutritious meal in a safe environment to 150-250 people a day, 365 days a year.
Mercy Gardens
We urban farm by revitalizing abandoned lots and partnering with local green spaces to increase access to fresh, nutrient-dense produce to the community.
Volunteering
Join us 365 a year in either our Noon Meal or Mercy Gardens - you’ll see first-hand how impactful our work is to our community.
Community Engagement
We have many ways to get involved throughout the year as a Samaritan Partner; attend our events, order office lunches, or allow us to cater your next event.
GROWING BETTER TOGETHER
We Grow Fresh, Local Produce Through our Mercy Gardens
We are Innovating and partnering to Meet Community Needs.
Since 1982 The Good Samaritan Inn has served the community through leadership of a diverse staff supported by volunteers, the Decatur faith community, the Old King’s Orchard Neighborhood and the many good samaritans in our community. In recent years, we have developed gardens to revitalize our neighborhoods, expand access to fresh, nutrient-dense produce, and increased our community partnerships to further impact Decatur and Macon County.
