Designated Offering: Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center

Designated Offering

Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center

Each month, we designate a particular social service organization for financial support through special collections on Sundays. This January, our special offering goes to the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center.

The Center offers many services to immigrants and others in our community, including:

  • Educational resources for teachers and students
  • Cross-cultural education programs
  • Citizenship education
  • Assistance with naturalization fees
  • English classes
  • Introducing conversation partners
  • Cultural events

Since 2000, the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center has played an important role as “the community’s living room.” This is a welcoming place where people feel comfortable, both online and in-person, fostering connection among more than 6,000 participants annually, including immigrants, refugees, community members, children, seniors, international visitors, and students.

Make a designated offering

Please give prayerful consideration to this month’s designated offering. To participate, make out a check to Church of the Good Samaritan, write “designated offering” on the memo line, and place it in the plate during the Sunday services offertory (or mail it to our office). You can also use the “designated offering” envelope found in the back of each pew.

At the end of each month, we write a single check from Good Sam to the organization we’ve designated for our support. Thank you for helping to ensure that this valuable service can continue!
