Good Samaritan Home
The Good Samaritan Home was founded by Charles A. Wing in 1942. We find solutions to improve the livelihood of those under a great deal of detrimental stress.
Good Samaritan Home provides safe, affordable housing, three home-cooked meals a day, and full utilities for 45 residents — seniors, veterans, and adults on fixed incomes, many of whom might otherwise face homelessness or hunger. The Home began as a retirement home for seniors but quickly transformed into a facility that gave all adults on a fixed income a chance to live comfortably and affordably. We offer a home where every resident feels valued and safe, where hope is awake and individual dignity is honored. Regardless of the circumstances that lead a resident to us, we seek to support them by offering stability. For some, it’s a space to transition to the next chapter in life. For others, this is where they will conclude their story.

🚗 Have a Vehicle You No Longer Need?
There’s a new way to support Good Samaritan Home.
You can now donate a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or other qualifying vehicle and help support our mission of providing affordable housing, meals, and a stable community for adults in Boise.
A vehicle you no longer need can become meaningful support for the residents who rely on Good Samaritan Home for housing, meals, and stability.
Your old vehicle could help provide someone with a place to call home.
