HISTORY:

James Samaritan formerly known as James Storehouse was founded by Louisiana native, Kim Winston Bigler. This dynamic, caring mom first learned about the shocking realities of foster care when she received an email at Christmas time in 2011. The email described a foster child, who had spent her whole life in foster care, bouncing from family to family until she turned 18. She aged out of the system only to find herself on her own, in a cold apartment at Christmas time. The experience awakened in Kim both a profound sense of empathy for children in foster care and the challenges they face, along with a heartfelt desire to support them. We Support and Empower Children and Families in Foster Care. Mission Statement: We connect the community and church to create healthy support systems for kids and families in our foster care system.
