2021 Silent Samaritan Luncheon Event Program - 7

Over 60 percent of those persons
seeking help in times of emotional
stress and trauma are women.
Many of them need financial
assistance to pay for the counseling
care they seek. Women
experiencing transitions in their
lives may not have access to
insurance and are often unable to
pay full fee for services they need.
History of the Silent Samaritans:
Initiated in 1996, the Silent
Samaritan idea attracted over 150
women who contributed $100 each to
establish the fund. Now, over 1,600
women have contributed to the fund,
bringing the total raised to almost
$1,500,000 for the Silent Samaritan
Fund. In 2021 alone, over 300
women have donated over $46,000!
Behind the Scenes: Each
January, a group of dedicated
volunteers begin to plan for the
luncheon. Surveys completed at
the luncheon are reviewed. Ideas
for the menu, speakers, topics and
other suggestions for improving the
luncheon are discussed. Over the
course of the year, the luncheon
planning culminates in what each
year's committee hopes will be the
best luncheon yet!
Thanks to your contribution to the Silent Samaritan Fund, women in need
can receive quality professional counseling. They may also participate in
groups and attend educational programs sponsored by the Samaritan
Counseling Center.
Thank you for being a Silent Samaritan!
