History
Chuck and Jan Laggan realized that there was a need for shelter to be provided to homeless individuals in the community. After gathering facts, they called a community meeting in 2003 to discuss the problem of homelessness and the idea that if the community would work together, a Rescue Mission could be established. Their idea and plan caught the attention of many local individuals.
During the meeting 7 residents decided to form a Board of Trustees and Incorporate Samaritan Ministries of Hot Springs. Fundraising began with the initial donation of two $5 dollar bills, and .61 cents given by a homeless man that attended the second meeting (Total of $10.61) Fundraising continued to generate enough funds to acquire and renovate a building through speaking engagements and contacting all our friends and family and sharing the needs of the homeless in our community.
SMHS acquired a 7,500 square foot old steel-shell warehouse for $5,000 in September 2005. Architectural plans for the mission were created by the Laggan's oldest son Daniel, a registered architect, and the renovations began in July, 2006 after zoning and planning approval by the City of Hot Springs. For 17 months the Laggan's worked side by side with volunteers and contractors to finish the process while continuing to raise operating support to start operations. Since the beginning, many individuals, businesses, churches, and organizations have volunteered their time, contributed supplies, gift-in-kind donations and their prayers. SMHS opened on November 23, 2007 with the total cost of acquisition, major renovations, equipment and furnishings costing approximately $325,000. The day SMHS opened the facility was totally debt-free.
