Quick Facts

Samaritan Center gets food from four sources:

• 1/3 from the community through local food drives;



• 1/3 is purchased. Through a private grant the Samaritan Center purchased milk, cheese, tooth brushes and tooth paste totaling $84,644.24. The Samaritan Center spent $186,539.07 from donations in 2004 to buy meat, butter, eggs and other items. The Samaritan Center is the only food pantry in the area that supplements the dry and canned food items with meat and other fresh items; and,



• 1/3 comes from the food bank (government commodities and Second Harvest items).

We receive no government funding, but rely on donations from churches and the community.

More than 695 people volunteer their time and talent to the work of the Samaritan Center.

The Center is an interfaith agency, supported by more than 42 churches of various denominations.

The Samaritan Center is our local food pantry. All donations go directly to services and stay in our communities.
