"Survivor Sam" shivers just thinking about SNOVID2021, the week in February the town shutdown due to the extended rolling blackouts. Good Sam may have closed for the week, however, it continued to feed, help, and serve the community. Snacks, water, coffee, paper products, blankets, coats, and gloves were provided to the GLOWS warming shelter for the unhoused at the Salvation Army, and two City of Garland emergency shelters. Due to frozen water pipes and supply shortage of bottled water, Good Sam provided several cases of water to a retirement center and 23 pallets of water to the Garland Central Library to be handed out to the citizens of Garland. Meeting survival needs of the community is what Good Sam does. #SurvivorSam #TogetherWeCan #NTGD2021 ...

"Survivor Sam" reflects on the dedication and compassion the Good Sam staff, volunteers, and partnerships displayed throughout COVID19. Whereas, all the surrounding food pantries closed, Good Sam remained open working with numerous partners to provide food for anyone in need. The number of individuals and families served during 2020 was 85% higher than 2019. Thus far, 2021 is on track to bypass 2020. Heartfelt thanks to everyone that has made this life impacting challenge possible! #SurvivorSam #TogetherisBetter, #COVID19, #NTGD2021 #PartnershipsMatter ...
