In 1999, Global Samaritan Resources began in an old, rented grocery store with one simple mission – to demonstrate God's love by providing logistics and need-based solutions, through partners, serving those affected by hardship, crisis, or disaster. In 2007, thanks to a generous gift, we purchased the property that is now Global’s home, complete with a 55,000 sf warehouse!

When purchased a significant amount of work was required. Leadership utilized volunteers to cut out and remove old, rusted pipes and gas lines. Local businesses donated the labor to repair and lube the garage doors and paint was donated to paint the interior of the warehouse. Unfortunately, the roof was never addressed and it is imperative that we do so now. The 30-year old roof leaks which has led to areas that are not unusable or soon will be.

Global Samaritan Resources has launched a $750,000 Capital Campaign to replace the 55,000 sq. foot warehouse roof, build an addition to our Community Book Room, replace some warehouse doors, abate the asbestos on the second floor of our office building and more. The two-stage campaign prioritizes the roof replacement at a cost of $550,000 in the early Spring of 2026, with other updates completed as funding allows.

The warehouse is the heart of our operation. It is more than a building that stores aid and ships it around the globe. It is home to our Community Book Room, Community Bed Initiative, Teacher Resource Room and our new Non-Profit Resource Center – all of which are aimed at meeting the needs of residents of Abilene and surrounding counties. In 2025, GSR distributed $3.1 million worth of aid with $1.8 million worth of those goods remaining in Abilene and the Big Country!

We ask that you prayerfully consider making a donation (or a pledge to be payable prior to March 31, 2026) towards the roof replacement. Your gift will be doubled by the generosity of the Dian Graves Owen Foundations Matching Grant. With your gift, GSR can ensure the logistics of acquiring, sorting and distributing necessary goods and aid, especially to the citizens of Abilene, will continue for decades to come!
