Good Samaritan Network Overview MEETING PEOPLE AT THEIR NEED ... EMPOWERING PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES! The Good Samaritan Network was formed in March of 1995, evolving from a group of programs and services in existence since early 1980. Mission The mission of Good Samaritan Network is to demonstrate the unconditional love of Christ by serving the physical, financial and emotional needs of at-risk individuals and families in Hamilton County. Vision The vision of Good Samaritan Network is to position ourselves in the community with a suitable location and with strong physical and financial resources - aligned to an effective organizational structure for the facilitation, collaboration, and coordination of appropriate services to those residents of Hamilton County in need of physical, spiritual and emotional support; who find themselves among the at-risk people we serve. Values We are specialists in creating and nourishing relationships with county residents and Network partners as collaboratively we focus on serving the underserved and at-risk in situational scarcity. (see our detailed values listing) GSN provides direct care when clients have nowhere else to turn, especially considering generational and situational poverty. Typically our DIRECT services involve emergency or crisis intervention for: housing and utility assistance, food insecurities, minimal car repairs, medical and prescription assistance, as well as educational opportunities for improving individual independence. Financial backing and support of GSN, including programming and events, is provided solely based on donations and grants secured by GSN. Funding assistance and direct support is quickly dispensed through a client application process - which involves client ownership/participation. GSN’s receipt of financial and in-kind donations - directly impacts our ability to serve clients.

Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

On October 6, the Indiana Wildlife Federation (IWF) visited the Indianapolis-based university’s campus in order to gauge the amount of progress being made on the project. The LSC program certification emphasizes the following five categories: sustainable lawn maintenance and landscaping, pesticide/herbicide use reduction, invasive species eradication, native plant species selection, and water conservation. We saw that Butler has been making huge strides in these areas above and beyond what was required in our program. Pervious Pavement This isn’t a trick of the light! This LSC is a program designed to manage surface runoff, reduce excessive nutrient photo shows one of Butler’s parking pollution, and add quality habitat space for wildlife on university and college lots with standing water on the property in Indiana.

The university and countless volunteers have also committed hours of work in eradicating damaging invasives such as honeysuckle in order to give native plants a chance to grow. Other exciting BU initiatives we saw include the Center for Urban Ecology (CUE) farm, the inventive single-stream recycling program, and their laudable installment of pervious pavement in many of their parking lots.

A typical day for a legislator during session consists of meetings with constituents, session and committee hearings. Each legislator is assigned to a committee, or multiple committees, to study proposed legislation. During the committee meetings, they hear public testimony from citizens, experts and members of government agen- cies. Session can be very time-consuming. There Legislators cast their votes during are days when legislators are in session for more session in the House Chamber. than 12 hours, listening to debates on bills and casting their votes. Many school groups come to the Statehouse in Indianapolis to learn about Indiana history, and representatives often meet with students to help them learn about the General Assembly. Also, just because session doesn’t last 365 days a year, doesn’t mean they stop working for you. As a matter-of-fact, when legislators are back home, they spend a lot of time attending meetings and community events. In order to best represent their communities, it is important that legislators meet with constituents constantly to learn what is most important to them.
