Discover and Transform Relational Patterns
In 1994, Samaritan Center Board members Lois Dusthimer and Bev Croxall recognized the difficult reality many women in our community were facing: finding the help and support they needed was often out of reach due to financial barriers. Out of their vision and compassion, the Silent Samaritan Luncheon was created to assist those among us who are most financially vulnerable.
What began as a simple gathering has grown into a lasting tradition. Every other year, friends of the Center come together for the Silent Samaritan Luncheon, a time of fellowship and generosity. In the alternating years, a letter writing campaign reaches out to supporters who continue the work through their gifts.
The Silent Samaritan Fund has since become the most utilized fund at the Samaritan Center, ensuring women in our community have access to professional mental health care regardless of their ability to pay. Through this fund, women receive counseling, encouragement, and the tools they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
We welcome gifts of any size to the Silent Samaritan Fund. Every donation makes a difference in a woman’s life—whether by providing her with her very first counseling session or helping her continue on a journey of healing and hope.
Your generosity ensures that no woman has to walk her path alone.
