Most weeks they have church several times. Each resident has chores to carry out within the shelter. If they need lunch for when they go to work, they provide that too.
In addition, GSH makes sure their residents have breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday.
Once they become a resident they have to have a job within 7 days. Must have a 10 panel drug test performed and that does include marijuana.Ĥ. They have to have a warrant check (different than background check).ģ. They must be a KY resident for at least 1 year with an ID.Ģ. There are four requirements to become a resident of GSH.ġ. Before becoming a resident, Dorothy and her husband make sure future residents understand that they will work, eat, sleep, save their money, and hear about Jesus. For instance, if they were state or federally funded they may not be able to have church as many times a week as they wanted. She made it clear that they wanted it that way because it makes it easier for them to carry out their mission of spreading the word of Jesus to the residents. They are each men of God that belong to different Christian denominations.ĭorothy said the shelter is 100% community ran and that they receive no funds from the federal or state level.
The shelter also has six board members which include Claude Gilbert Jr, Claude Gilbert III, Jim Claud, Vernon Jarvis, Roy Faulkner, and Orie Hyde. Dorothy and her husband Ken are the directors of GSH and have been since 2016. I don't think I've ever been so excited to be somewhere before 9am in my life (not a morning person but, I try). When I called the shelter for some info, Dorothy, one of the director's, asked if I wanted to come in and speak with her. Three percent of all of Redeemed's sales since launching and through the month of June will be donated there. Since starting Redeemed and needing to choose a place to donate my first bundle of sales, I've decide that place is GSH. When I first walked in the doors of the Good Samaritan House (GSH) in London, KY I saw a sign that read 'salvation' and a preacher's pulpit.
