Board Directors are non-voting members on all matters.
Rev. Frank
L. Lamson - Pastor Frank was a founding board member of GSS, and served
in almost every capacity on the board for the next nine years. He was a crucial
proponent for the growth of the shelter, and we wouldn't be the organization we
are today without his support.

Jim once served as the vice-chairman of the board. He was instrumental in
helping the shelter purchase our first building, with generous support from New
Century Bank.

- While not involved with the day to day
running of the shelter, Kathryn has a great
deal of experience helping small non-profits
succeed. She worked for nine years at Face
to Face in Germantown, and there developed a
clear sense of how a non-profit in human
services can track its outcomes and
communicate its success to funders and
supporters. Kathryn holds a BA in humanities
from Marlboro College.

dan@goodsamshelter.org - Dan has been
with GSS since 2009, first as the

Ursinus College with a B.A. in political
science, and has been involved as a
volunteer in the work of the Good Samaritan
Shelter from his youth.
All Staff are CPR and First Aid certified.
Training and development opportunities are
offered to the staff throughout the year.
House Managers live in each home to ensure a
smooth and effective operation. We have
volunteer interns who support the work of the staff. These interns are typically
Social Work majors from Valley Forge Christian College, Eastern University and
Lancaster Bible College. If you are interested in interning at Good Samaritan
Shelter, please contact
