If we pause the hustle and bustle of our daily life to reflect on the many ways we’ve been blessed, Christmas can be a very special time of year. It is a time we think of our family and friends and the different ways to show them how much we care for them. For others though, Christmas can be a very difficult time with hard choices like paying a bill or buying a child’s Christmas present. It can be a time of wondering how long the heating fuel will last or how low the temperature can get before the pipes freeze and break.

As you think about gift giving this year, would you consider something different? Good Samaritan Family Services is offering you a chance to not only purchase a gift for a loved one, but also the opportunity to help someone in need. When you purchase an item out of this gift catalog we will send a card of recognition to the person of your choosing. They will get the satisfaction of knowing that they made a difference in someone else’s life. This is not just another knick-knack that will sit on a shelf, but tangible goods and services that will be greatly appreciated by those in our Northern Michigan community.
