Disaster Response Donations Floods

Gift of $15,000 for Louisiana Flood Relief

The Samaritan Center, located in Ooltewah, TN, gifted a check of $15,000 to ACS Arkansas-Louisiana for Relief Efforts following the intense historic floods in Louisiana last month. In addition to the monetary gift, a van-load of needed cleaning tools and supplies were also provided to support the ongoing clean-up efforts in the flood-affected community. The Samaritan Center put in $8,000 from its disaster relief reserve fund that was created in response to the devastating tornadoes of 2011. The remaining $7,000 were given by donors. A Big ‘Thank you’ goes to the many community members who supported this important initiative. Dozens of our Louisiana neighbors have the help they need, due to your kindness.
