December 2021 Newsletter
The holidays are upon us, as hard as it is to believe. The last two years have seemed to fly by. Starting in January, we will be celebrating Good Samaritan's 20th Anniversary! When our founders opened the doors to a free clinic in 2002 they could have never known the impact that Good Samaritan would have on our community. In the last 19 years, we have served more than 20,000 unique patients, over 800 individuals have volunteered more than 379,000 hours of their time, and we now staff 36 employees. We could not have accomplished this without the support of our generous community! Don't forget to get in your 2021 tax donation before December 31st. You can donate using the link above, or by sending a check in to the office. We look forward to serving you another 20 years, and we wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Data range 11/1/2020-10/30/2021
