Guardian Angel
What is the Guardian Angel Program?
The Guardian Angel program offers residents and loved ones the chance to share a gift of gratitude in honor of a staff member or volunteer who’s made an impact.
100% of every gift of gratitude supports a local Good Samaritan location, advancing the work of our care teams so they can bring comfort, joy and belonging to residents and families.
Share the Gift of Gratitude
When you honor a Good Samaritan Society staff member or volunteer, they receive a special recognition and pin that they can wear to share the power of kindness. The process takes a few short minutes, but it means the world to our staff and volunteers to know they have made a positive impact on you or a loved one’s life.
Giving for Good
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the human condition at every stage of life, the Good Samaritan Society is fueled by the generosity of donors — many of whom are residents or family members whose lives have been touched by the love and warmth of our team. Here, philanthropy is all around us, powering good things from a caring family of staff to healing spaces and so much more.
