Donors and volunteers are needed to assist with fundraising, create awareness, to be a Good Samaritan in your own community and assure people in Taylor County that the people of Taylor County care. Volunteers can also serve as evangelist to the community.
The first person to pass the injured man was a priest, who crossed the road and continued walking.
The second person to pass the injured man was a Levite, a priest's assistant. He also crossed the road and continued walking without helping the man.
The third person to come by was a Samaritan, a person from Samaria. The Samaritans were hated by the Jews. When the Samaritan saw the man, he took pity on him. He bandaged him and cleaned his wounds. He then put him on the back of his donkey and took him to an innkeeper, whom he paid to look after him.
The parable ends with Jesus giving a commandment to go out and do the same as the Samaritan had done. This teaching of loving one's enemies is also reflected in Matthew's Gospel.
Taylor County Good Samaritans has made a positive impact in the lives of cancer patients in our community for years. Here's what they had to say...
"Thank you so very much for your generous donation to us! It was such a blessing and so kind of you all! Thank you again for being the hands of Jesus!"
" I'd like to thank you for your kindness and generosity. I have been battling since 2014, first removal of one kidney, then treatment for bladder cancer and last in 2019 colon cancer in 3 different locations. There are always many extras that are not covered by insurance so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you and May God bless your good work."

" We are very grateful for all the love and caring that has been shown us since my diagnosis. We truly appreciate the monetary and emotional support of the Good Samaritan Foundation."
