El Buen Samaritano
El Buen Samaritano is an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas committed to helping Latino and other families in Central Texas lead healthy, productive and secure lives through high-quality and affordable health-care, education and food assistance services. We provide a gathering place where people of all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds learn and serve together in a community of mutual trust and respect. The community is vibrant and filled with a rich cultural tradition. We encourage the growth and empowerment of those we serve, so they may fully participate in their own development and increase their capacity to be leaders and contributors to their families and the community. The people engaged with El Buen Samaritano—participants, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders—work and learn in a mutually respectful and inclusive environment. They are characterized by hope, compassion, resilience, and integrity.
