Security Service Charitable Foundation Donates $4,800 to The Good Samaritan House

(SALT LAKE CITY, UT – February 21, 2017) – A donation from the Security Service Charitable Foundation will help make feeding the hungry a little easier. The Foundation recently donated $4,800 to The Good Samaritan House located in downtown Salt Lake City. The money will go towards the purchase of a meat slicer to aid in preparing more than 400 sack lunches each day. “Our motto has always been - a sack lunch, no questions asked,” said Darren Williams, program director of The Good Samaritan House. Established in 1984 in the basement of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the needs of The Good Samaritan House grew quickly, resulting in the program moving into a larger house down the street. The program provides food, personal care items and referrals to all people regardless of their affiliations. “Every human being has a right to be fed," said Kimmy Shore, assistant director of The Good Samaritan House. “Our program provides a great service to the community, helping people of any age or background when they need a little help.” The services provided rely heavily on volunteers, something the Security Service Volunteer Corps is proud to be a part of. “Our employees have seen first-hand the impact this program has on the community,” explained Greg Reed, senior vice president of member service – Mountain West Region, for Security Service. “We are proud to be able to support the organization both through a charitable contribution and our volunteer efforts.”
