Unity Campaign
We’re delighted to be a part of this exciting 12-day giving event (April 12 to April 23), powered by United Way of the Eastern Panhandle.
This year, we hope to raise $20,000 with our campaign. When you give to Good Samaritan Free Health Care through the Unity Campaign, your donation will allow us to continue to fill the gap for the uninsured and underinsured in our communities by providing free health care, medications, and needed diagnostics. It will also assist us in making improvements to buy a shed for our community garden as we provide free fresh vegetables to our clients and the neighborhood. Additionally, it will help us to get bikes, helmets and bring bike safety to Burke Street School for physical education and for an inner-city bike club. The goal is to help kids learn that exercise and group support is a healthy living strategy to reduce stress, make this a lifelong habit to cope with trauma, and stressful situations.

Community Gardens
We will have healthy snacks and an activity for the children!
“It all starts with a seed!” We want to plant that seed so together we can reap the harvest!
We have a garden behind the clinic and one at the Rescue Mission (which they maintain). We are providing herbs and fresh vegetables to our patients, and the community.
The goal is to get healthier foods to those without access to fresh vegetables in an effort to educate those with or without chronic disease towards healthier lifestyle.
Block Party
We have a Block party on Addition Street beside the clinic. We have interactive games, food, and giveaways.
Once COVID 19 is under control we will bring this activity back to our block. We need planners and helpers for this event!
Chronic Disease Prevention Programs
Throughout the year, we partner with other community organizations to help folks combat chronic disease in their lives.
