At Trinity Woods, we care for more than just health and housing—we care for each other. The Good Samaritan Fund ensures that residents who outlive their financial resources, through no fault of their own, can continue to live here with dignity, stability, and peace of mind.

“Life doesn’t always go according to plan,” said Garrett Lee, Trinity Woods CEO. “Unexpected medical costs, the loss of a spouse, or changes in the economy can quickly impact even the most carefully managed savings. That’s where the Good Samaritan Fund steps in—quietly and compassionately—to fill the gap.”

Donations given to the Good Samaritan Fund help residents in all areas of the campus – from Independent Living to the Health Center. We make a promise when people choose Trinity Woods, that we will take care of them for the rest of their lives, and this Fund allows that to be possible. This year YOU helped 24 different residents throughout the community, totaling approximately $33,000 a month, with donations given to the Good Samaritan Fund. Remember; those gifts not only bless the residents,
but their families as well.

When you give, you ensure that no Trinity Woods neighbor is asked to leave because of circumstances beyond their control. You’re not just offering financial help, you’re preserving community, stability, and a sense of belonging. Whether your gift is large or small, its impact is profound. It’s a promise that we take care of our own. One day, it could be you—or someone you love—who benefits from that promise.
This Fund has become one of the most urgent and critical areas of need for the people living at Trinity Woods. As you prayerfully consider a gift, think about making it as an honorarium or memorial to someone who is special to you. With a gift of $300 you will receive a commemorative “brick” that will be engraved as you choose and placed in front of the Community Life Center on the Trinity Woods campus.

Please support the Good Samaritan Fund with a gift because everyone deserves to age with dignity, in a place they call home.
