Willmar Good Samaritan Fund
The Good Samaritan Fund was established in 2005 with the mission of providing one-time assistance to people for emergency needs. Modeled after a successful fund at the Central Minnesota Community Foundation, the Good Samaritan Fund has an advisory committee that reviews potential cases and determines what, if any, assistance can be offered. There are many situations the Fund can assist with, including rent or mortgage payments, periodic billing assistance, emergency fuel assistance, basic needs, emergency medical supplies and even vehicle repair.
Since inception a total of $40,901 has been awarded to 76 different cases.
