GOOD SAMARITAN HAVEN
A place where people are served with dignity in their time of need
Good Samaritan Haven provides overnight shelter and support services for people experiencing homelessness in central Vermont.
We operate four facilities with 74 shelter beds, provide nightly dinners courtesy of community members
and churches, supply basic needs such as clothing, toiletries and laundry, and offer other support services.
All made possible by generous community donations.
