Corporate Supporters

Thank You

We’d like to thank our corporate donors for their generosity and for their significant support over the years. Each one has been critical in helping us to raise awareness and raise funds.

It’s a great example to other businesses and each event that is sponsored, each dollar that is raised, each product that is given in kind, makes such a difference to us a community welfare organisation.

With the increases in rents and grocery bills, as well as the number of people still suffering from the floods in 2007, we are seeing more people than ever coming to our Emergency Relief, in financial difficulty.

Samaritans will use the funds that are raised to help these families.

“Our partnerships with these local organisations are growing stronger each year. We treasure their loyalty and enthusiasm in embracing Samaritan’s core values of compassion, integrity and justice. Their support through this action and sponsoring of our events, is a perfect example of corporate social responsibility,” says Samaritans Fundraising Manager, Libby Rodgers-McPhee.
