Good Samaritan Society
The Good Samaritan Society: A Celebration of Generosity and Hope
Scotland Family Counseling Center’s annual fundraiser, now known as the Good Samaritan Society, is one of the most unique and uplifting events of its kind. Held each spring, this gathering celebrates the generosity of individuals, families, businesses, and organizations who help bridge the gap for mental health in our community.
Invitations are sent to longtime supporters and new friends alike, and all are welcome to attend. During this season, each trip to the mailbox brings joy and gratitude to the SFCC office, as we witness the community’s continued commitment to faith, hope, and healing.
The evening features food, fellowship, live music, reflections on the center’s impact over the past year, and an inspiring keynote speaker. It’s a time to rejoice in the progress made and the lives touched through compassionate care.
Donor Recognition: Silent or Celebrated
We honor all donors—whether they give as individuals, families, businesses, or corporations—with the option to be publicly recognized or remain anonymous. Those who prefer anonymity will be listed collectively as Silent Samaritans, with the total number of donors noted but no names shared.
This flexible approach allows each donor to choose how they wish to be acknowledged, while ensuring that every contribution is deeply valued and celebrated.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
Funds raised through the Good Samaritan Society not only support the ongoing needs of the counseling center, but also maintain our Client Aid account, which provides financial assistance to clients who are uninsured or underinsured.
Scotland Family Counseling Center could not exist without broad-based community support. While we receive funding from insurance reimbursements, the United Way, and various grants, it is charitable giving that allows us to offer reduced-cost services and ensure that no one is turned away due to financial hardship.
We are deeply grateful to be part of a generous community that values the presence of exceptional, devoted licensed mental health professionals in its midst.
