Disaster Relief

Hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, forest fires . . . When we think of these catastrophic events on a global or national level, they can feel distant and unreal. But when disasters strike our friends, families, neighbors, or ourselves, it’s a completely different story. The Samaritan Center recognizes that each disaster requires a different level of response; that’s why we provide services that meet varying levels of need.

The Center also works closely with other organizations and churches in responding to disasters both in our local area and on a national level. On an individual/family basis, the Samaritan Center provides food, clothing, furniture, and household items for emergency relief. The Center can also provide tools and other resources for storm damage clean-up. During times of national disasters, the Samaritan Center serves as a collection point for funds and donated goods when requested by Adventist Community Services Disaster Response.

Our community was blessed with volunteers and aid relief during the 2011, 2012 and 2020 tornadoes that ravaged this area. The Center strives to pay-it-forward in providing disaster relief to those in need.
