Focusing on those most in need…

Good Samaritan Grant Program

In the Good Samaritan parable, we are called to be a good neighbor to people in need. The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland provides support each year to organizations meeting the basic needs – such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation – of those living in poverty in Cuyahoga County.

The 2010 Good Samaritan Grant Program is now closed.
