BUNNELL, Fla. - Feb. 15, 2017 - PRLog -- Lorraine Vickery, Founder and Executive Director of Samaritan Ministriesis pleased to announce that they have received a $75,000 donation from a local resident that would like to remain anonymous. The funds will be used toward the purchase of a transition house for their clients.

Samaritan Ministries was foundedin 2001 toserve Flagler County's single mothers and women in transition. The organization provides advocacy, training, mentoring, support groups, budget counseling, car care, food, free seminars and social gatherings for their clients.  While this organization does not accept government funds, it solely operates based on individual and church support, as well as private foundation grants.

The 501c3 charity continues to seek funds to purchase a home for women and children in transition. They have set a goal of at least $120,000 and believe they have found a home, which is ideal, located in the heart of Bunnell. Since their "Save The Starfish" Soiree in 2015 and the "Raising The Roof-The Time is NOW" Banquet and Silent Auction in October last year, they have been blessed by many donations pushing them toward their goal.

"Since last year, our building fund has increased to a total of over $93,000, with approximately 75% of this total coming from one anonymous donor," said Lorraine. "This donation is truly a huge stepping stone for our ministry's goal of purchasing a home. We are unbelievably blessed!"
