Shively Area Ministries (SAM) is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives and strengthening the fabric of the Shively community. We do this in the Spirit of Christ by providing emergency, short-term and, in some cases, ongoing assistance to individuals and families in poverty and crisis. Major programs include rental assistance (homeless prevention), support for utility bills, a large food pantry, Meals on Wheels, and education and empowerment. SAM provides a vehicle where people of goodwill can come together to form a common bond of compassion. We respond to the needs of persons in poverty and crisis by uniting churches, civic groups, and businesses to improve the quality of life for our neighbors. Our services are made possible through financial and in-kind donations, the time and talent of faithful volunteers and generous community support.
