Our Story
Samaritan Aid Ministries was founded in 2021 by a small group of people in the Central Okanagan of
British Columbia, Canada, who felt called to make a difference in their community. What started as a
simple desire to help local neighbors quickly grew as word spread. Through the support of friends,
family, and others who shared the vision, the ministry expanded, with more people offering their time,
donations, and resources to help those in need. What began as a grassroots effort has now become a movement, reaching beyond the local community and touching lives both near and far.
Our Impact
By God’s provision and through the generosity of our supporters, Samaritan Aid Ministries has been able
to make a significant difference in the lives of those facing crisis. In 2023, we sent several containers of
donated goods and medical supplies to Ukraine, directly aiding those affected by the conflict.
We also raised significant funds to support the victims of the devastating earthquake in Turkey. These
funds were used to provide food, shelter, and essential resources to those whose lives were disrupted by
the disaster.
Each year, our efforts grow as we continue to build on the foundation of faith and compassion. With the
support of our community, we are able to reach more people in need, offering help wherever it is most
needed. We are committed to serving those who are suffering and being a source of hope and healing,
one step at a time.
