The Shelter makes a difference in so many lives. The demand has been so great that over the last year we have undergone a major renovation to add additional bed space to accommodate the number of people seeking shelter as well as expand our ability to offer classes and meet other needs.  Our administrative offices, case management team and support services have moved to 803 Spruce Street. The services provided by the Shelter are crucial. This fundraiser, and others like it, make it possible to provide a safe place to sleep for people who are without. 

If you or your business would like to donate an item for the silent auction, please contact Jennifer Laurent at 903-280-2289.
 
Please help us to be able to continue to offer the services that help so many rebuild their lives.  
 
With warm regards and many thanks,

Jennifer Laurent

Randy Sams' Outreach Shelter

About Us
The Randy Sams' Outreach Shelter, Inc., a 501 c(3) organization, was developed as a product of a labor of love. Randy Sams was a local teenager who volunteered at the local Outreach Kitchen. In May 1993, Randy was tragically killed. In honor of their son, Randy's parents donated land and seed money to establish a shelter that would serve the Greater Texarkana community, hungry, poor, and homeless. The RSOS opened on January 6, 1996, and now averages between 85 and 90 guests per night. To date, the RSOS has transitioned over 1,250 clients to permanent housing from the RSOS and over 12,500 community clients have received utility assistance, rental assistance and food.
Mission
Our mission for the homeless is to meet the immediate needs of safe temporary lodging and food for the poor and homeless who come into our midst until their return to self-sustained community life.
