Eight congregations partner with Samaritan's House and Crossroad Crisis Centers in SOS program

During March eight Bluffton and Pandora congregations will partner with Samaritan House and Crossroads Crisis Center in Lima, through the “Supply Our Sisters,” (SOS) program, according to Amy Mikesell.

SOS is a month-long collection of feminine hygiene products (pads and tampons of various types) and the churches are collection points.

“Women make up 32 percent of the homeless population. Feminine hygiene products are essential, but are rarely donated to homeless shelters and women’s resource centers,” said Mikesell.
