About this resource
Good Samaritan Outreach (GSO) operates the Thrive Program in McAlester — a residential workforce-development pathway for men that includes temporary housing, meals, life-skills classes, case management and job-readiness support.
GSO’s Thrive Program is a multi-phase residential program for men in crisis that provides meals, temporary housing, case management, document recovery, life-skills classes, and workforce/job-readiness supports. The program is organized into structured levels (Alpha → Delta) that move participants from immediate stabilization (hot meal, a bed, ID recovery, medical linkage) through employment and leadership. Facility rules and guest agreements (curfew, no drugs/alcohol, attendance and hygiene expectations) are part of program participation. (Source: Good Samaritan Outreach / Thrive Program pages.)
What to know before you go
- Hours / availability
- Organization appears actively operating (site content, program pages, and an SMS/appointment-reminder page show recent updates). The site lists donation dropoff during 'regular hours' but does not publish public intake or office hours; callers should phone or email to confirm current availability and intake steps. HUD Continuum of Care data and local directories include GSO as a provider in the McAlester area.
- Eligibility
- Program serves men in crisis (examples on the site include situations of homelessness, addiction recovery, and re-entry after incarceration). The site does not specify an exact age range or other formal eligibility thresholds; participants sign guest agreements and must follow facility rules (e.g., no drugs/alcohol).
- How to access this service
- To refer or request help: call (918) 429-7773 or email [email protected]. The organization’s website includes a 'Refer Someone' option and contact forms for referrals, volunteering, and donations — callers are directed to contact the office to begin intake/referral.
