Samaritan Counseling Center asks public to help win grant

State Farm Neighborhood Assist announces top 200 finalists

Communities across the United States answered the call from State Farm to submit causes that would make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. Samaritan Counseling Center needs the public’s vote to bring money to the West Texas community.

From April 27 through May 6, U.S. residents who are 18 and older with a valid email address can vote for Samaritan to help bring $25,000 grant to the organization.

Four thousand submissions were received in February through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, a crowd-sourced philanthropic program that empowers communities to identify issues in their neighborhoods. The State Farm Review Committee selected the top 200 finalists, of which 41 states are represented.

Samaritan is honored to be among the Top 200 Finalists. Many in our community are facing mental health issues and the numbers have risen exponentially with the onset of COVID-19. Samaritan provides care to anyone needing counseling regardless of their financial situation.

The goal of Samaritan is to restore hope and healing of mind, body, and spirit for optimal health. The top 200 causes have until May 6 at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) to rally votes and anyone voting is allowed up to 10 votes per day. Make your vote matter and help Samaritan make a difference and give everyone a chance for hope and healing. Support Samaritan and vote daily, go to: www.NeighborhoodAssist.com/entry/2043456

“In celebration of the company’s 100th anniversary, the program is awarding more grant dollars than ever in 2022,” said Rasheed Merritt, Assistant Vice President at State Farm. “We encourage everyone to vote for their favorite causes to make a big impact in their communities.”
