The
Mission
of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society
is to share God’s love in word and deed by providing shelter
and supportive services to older persons and others in need, believing
that “In Christ’s Love, Everyone is Someone.”
The Good Samaritan Story
The time was 1922; the place was Arthur, North
Dakota. Rev. August Hoeger was serving as a parish pastor in a small
prairie community when he heard the call to “go and do likewise.”
The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society (ELGSS) was established
as a non-profit, Christian organization. Fueled by its founder's great
faith, the Society has since grown to operate approximately 250 facilities
in 25 states, employing 21,000 staff members, and serves more than
28,000 residents.
