Donations To Samaritan Center
Are You Considering Making a Gift to the Samaritan Center?
What Is The Challenge?
The Samaritan Center has always tried to make its services available to persons without regard to their ability to pay. For many of the people we serve, we provide healing, hope and growth in ways that are life-giving and life-saving.
Our fees are among the lowest in the community. Still, because we set fees according to the actual cost of delivering services, we rely on benevolent giving to offset fee reductions given to persons who cannot afford the full cost. Your gift can bring new life to someone who might otherwise not receive help.
All gifts to the Samaritan Center are fully tax-deductible due to our status as an exempt 501 (C)3 organization. Each gift to the Center will be acknowledged with a letter certifying the gift and serving as official documentation of your charitable contribution for tax purposes. If you wish your gift to remain anonymous, please indicate this in your communication to us. Otherwise, our givers are listed in our Annual Report by level, which is determined by the amount of their total giving for that year.

The Samaritan Funds
Contributions are used to help persons who could not otherwise afford the full cost of services at the Samaritan Center. Samaritan funds help those seeking counseling for various different areas including:
- Couples in conflict; adults recovering from childhood abuse; families concerned about struggling children; adults who are hindered in their day-to-day life by depression, anxiety, panic, loss or grief; and adolescents who may be facing relationship dilemmas, identity struggles, or suicidal thoughts and feelings.
- Almost two-thirds of the clients seen at the Samaritan Center are women. Those who have suffered spousal abuse, childhood physical, sexual or emotional abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety receive help through Samaritan donations.
- Children receive help for issues such as abuse, coping with family problems or divorce, or behavior problems at home or at school. They learn to deal constructively with their problems and greatly increase the chances of growing up to be well-adjusted, productive citizens.
- As part of our partnership in ministry with local congregations, contributions enable the Samaritan Center to make therapy available to pastors.
- The Samaritan Center is provides readjustment counseling for veterans struggling with service-related difficulties or post-traumatic stress disorders.
