SAMARITAN GIFTS/VIRGINIA UNITED METHODIST HOMES, INC., since 1948, has been giving financial assistance to residents who are unable to meet the full cost of their care. In 2011 the cost of providing benevolent care for deserving residents is nearly $705,000 which amounts to an average of $241 a day for those residents receiving assistance. Samaritan Gifts, which will be received from now until Father's Day, will help provide assistance to a resident whose ability to pay for care has been diminished. Please make your gift today.
