You Will Make A Difference!

Christmas will be here in less than 3 weeks. I write that as an irrefutable fact, but also with a little surprise and amazement tossed in for good measure. Is it really that time of year again? I feel like I just deflated the oversized Santa on my lawn and dumped the tree that sacrificed its life so I could have an indoor climbing post for my cat. As for the lights... Well, they stay up year round.

Many of you are calling and inquiring about how you can help Samaritan House for the holidays. For this we are truly grateful, because we can use a great deal of it right now. Every year we do our best to provide some items for our residents at Christmas. This year is no different and I have included some information that, hopefully, will be helpful if you wish to participate this year. We are trying our best to round up these things for those who will be spending Christmas with us. In addition to the list below, we also have children in the shelter who we are trying to buy some toys for. If you are interested in helping out, please call Cary at 257-5801.

 For many years you have been a source of blessing and strength to our residents and we ask that you would consider helping us once again. We are in need of these items for gift bags that we are trying to assemble by Christmas. There is still plenty of time to help if you want to donate any of these or even bring in a financial donation, all of which are tax deductible. Thank you so much and we appreciate all you do for us.
