The Good Samaritan Women’s Group is a local volunteer group here in Bluffton that works toward servicing those in need, not only in our community, but in our area.
The group will be adopting two resident rooms at the Good Samaritan House in Lima this month, and will welcome any donations to assist with this project.
The improvement project involves painting and supplying curtains, lamps, bedding and simple décor for two bedrooms.
