Ways to Give

Samaritan Center is supported by the generous contributions of individuals, businesses, corporations and foundations. Your gift makes it possible for us to subsidize counseling and mental health care fees for individuals, families and children who have limited financial resources, as well as provide quality programming on mental health issues to the community.

From January through September 2022, we have subsidized more than 800 counseling sessions. And in the 2021-2022 school year, we were able to screen more than 2,200 middle and high school students for depression, anxiety and suicide risk through the TeenHope program.

The Samaritan Fund
