SALT LAKE CITY, Utah--The Good Samaritan House of The Cathedral De Madeline has received a $5,000 donation from Security Service FCU’s charitable foundation.
“They help people of all ages and any background,” said Delma Quick, manager for Security Service’s Westwood branch. “I’ve volunteered to help hand out sack lunches and was struck by the way they provide all kinds of assistance. It’s not just food – they provide emergency shelter, bus tokens and referrals.”
The funds, according to Darren Williams, program manager for Good Samaritan, will be used to augment donations as well as make updates and equipment purchases to better serve those visiting the house. Open for business 365 days a year, the program is kept running by 120 volunteers who contribute more than 7,500 hours a year, helping some 300 people every week.
