Franklin Farrow (left) and his daughter Aubrey (front) delivered a $5,000 check to the Samaritan Center, the promised matching funds to the amount raised by cashiers as customers checked out.

Besides simply shopping in our stores (which helps the Samaritan Center), many of our customers also gave a little extra to help their community. In fact, in November and December, they gave more than $6,700! The amount beyond the first $5,000 was also matched by another donor.

Thank you to Franklin, COO of Independent Healthcare Properties and board member at the Samaritan Center, for inspiring our shoppers to double their giving with a match. And thank you to each of you who decided to give a little extra as you checked out, when you cleaned out your closets, when you received our letter, when you volunteered in our Center, or in whatever way you decided to help us make a difference in this community!
