Good Samaritan Services partnered with eight Phoenixville restaurants and seven Ephrata restaurants for Good Sam Restaurant Week, which was held from May 11 to 18. Prior to COVID-19, many individuals and groups would cook meals on-site at Good Samaritan shelters or deliver homemade meals. These practices are no longer allowed due to social distancing regulations, but many supporters have been delivering takeout meals to shelter facilities.
During Good Sam Restaurant Week, supporters were encouraged to purchase takeout from local restaurants and have it delivered to the organization's shelters. Restaurants providing takeout were featured to encourage donors and individuals to support their local economy while providing meals to participants in local shelters.
Community members are invited to continue purchasing takeout from local restaurants and having it delivered to Good Samaritan Services shelters throughout the month of May. Those who would like to participate can sign up at http://www.goodsamservices.org/2020/05/good-sam-supports-local-businesses to reserve a day to deliver meals.
