Program Notes

We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Torchmark, a holding company specializing in life and supplemental health insurance, headquartered in McKinney. Mark McAndrews, CEO, has visited the Inn and offered up a variety of unbelievable opportunities-Torchmark's marketing department will assist us with a summer mail campaign that will help us raise the revenues we need in this difficult economy. Torchmark will also secure ten apartments in the community for people ready to graduate, but still not able to afford market value rents and Torchmark employees will volunteer in a number of areas of operation within the shelter. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of this "corporation with a conscience". 
 
Please help us welcome Jim Malatich, our new Director of Operations. Jim is the former Executive Director of Crossroads Family Services and has thirty years of social services experience and a real heart for our mission.

Taste of Addison is this weekend and we still need volunteers to help. Remember, The Samaritan Inn is a beneficiary. There are shifts available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, please contact Cheryl at cherylspofford@thesamaritaninn.org to sign up or get additional information. 
 
We currently have an immediate need for maternity clothes, size small (4, 6 or 8) for one of our residents. If you are able to help, please drop them off any time and mark them: Tammy
