Samaritans need another $26,500 By CAROLYN CARY
The construction stage of the new building for the Fayette Samaritans is advancing daily. A total of $90,000 was needed, either in cash donations or in-kind donations. However, $26,500 must be raised in the next couple of weeks in order to begin construction by the end of April. Sixty-five representatives from Fayette County churches are involved in working out details for the 2,400 square-foot home for the Samaritans. Begun in 1972, the nonprofit organization has been housed in various "loaned" offices and has grown to the point that it needs it own large space. Donations of supplies, volunteer labor and cash are needed. If you can make a cash donation, make the check out to the Fayette Samaritans Building Fund, 213 Jeff Davis Place, Suite 102, Fayetteville, Ga., 30214. If you can donate building supplies or volunteer labor, contact Charlie Charping, 770-461-6009.
