Designated Offering
Kids In Need of Defense (KIND)
Each month, we designate a particular social service organization for financial support through special collections on Sundays. This October, our special offering goes to KIND.
Kids In Need of Defense was founded in 2008 to ensure that unaccompanied children in the immigration system are represented by high-quality, pro bono legal counsel.
From 2008 to 2017, KIND has helped over 15,800 children, trained over 24,200 attorneys, and partnered with over 515 law firms, corporations, law schools and bar associations. The organization receives consistently high marks from watchdogs like Charity Navigator.
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!
