Live Here, Give Here
Thank you for considering a gift to Good Samaritan Ministries. We live here and are asking you to give here this year to help us raise $15,000, for the Food for Thought program. We currently serve 390 children on 17 campuses spread over 5 school districts. The age of the children range from Head Start to High School. The need is great and growing in Brown county.
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past twelve years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving to causes we care about, every act of generosity counts.
"GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year," said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s Chief Executive Officer. "With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world."
Here at Good Samaritan Ministries we are raising funds for our Food for Thought program. We partner with 5 school districts that encompass 17 campuses to provide weekend food for 390 children that range in age from Head Start to High school. The average bag of food cost $7.00. We provide easy to open food to help supplement what they are getting at home over the weekend. Our goal is to raise $15,000, to help provide food for the spring semester of 2025.
Be the change in our community.
