#Tacklehunger month community-wide food drive kicks off in October. Churches, businesses, schools, civic organizations and other groups it is time to huddle up for the game plan. Each group is assigned a specific item to collect in the month of October in order to help us fill 950 boxes of items that would be used to prepare a traditional Christmas dinner. Our list of items to collect is smaller and more affordable this year since we had such a great response from our Abundant Living Simple Giving event in July. For a complete list of items see below or you can call 325-643-2273. 

If your business, Sunday school class or school group want to participate but you don't have the space to collect actual items, you can make a monetary donation and Good Samaritan Ministries will purchase these items for you and give credit to your organization for the number purchased. We were able to go ahead and purchase many of the more expensive items that we will be packing in the Christmas boxes along with a special donation made for to provide a dozen tamales in each box.  Email us at office@goodsambwd.org for more information. 

 Another option is to make a donation of money to buy the hen, eggs, flour and sugar that also go in the boxes. Based on price increases, we estimate that the cost of all of the items in a box will run at least $100 this year.
