The Good Samaritan Fund

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
- Psalm 71:9

The Good Samaritan Charitable Program's mission is to provide financial assistance to residents who have exhausted all available financial resources and to provide added value to residents in the form of comfort, security, care and enjoyment, over and above their basic needs.

Your gift provides the following:

• Assists with monthly fees and services for residents who have exhausted their financial resources
• Provides added resident benefits and services over and above their basic needs
• Provides college tuition scholarships for employees
• Relieves the residents' financial worries
• Provides the donor an opportunity to become involved in Christian Care's mission to provide quality services to its residents

Ways to contribute:

• Cash contributions - donatations at any time for your designated purpose
• Gift Annuity - An income for the donor for life and a gift to Christian Care at death
• Memorials and Honor Gifts - Gifts in memory of loved ones will live on indefinitely
• Estate gifts and Bequests - Carry on the charitable giving practiced during life by making a gift when life is over

The Good Samaritan Endowment Fund is also a great option for leaving a legacy of giving.  This fund keeps the principle intact while using the interest income to meet the needs of residents in need.  Consider designating a percentage of your will or estate to bless future residents for years to come.

A donor recognition plague, located in Christian Care's main lobby, is available for donors making a major contribution to Christian Care. A nameplate may be designated in the name of the donor or in memory of a loved one.

Your generosity enables us to continue our tradition of quality service. Christian Care Retirement Community is a not-for-profit facility and so all donations are tax deductible. Donations, memorials and gifts in honor of a loved one are deeply appreciated.

Good Samaritan Scripture:

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.- Luke 10:33-35

Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
- Psalm 71:18
