To celebrate the culmination of a major $3 million project that has expanded and revitalized its campus, the Samaritan Center held a grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration on Friday, March 20.

“Through the years, our community’s continued support has helped make the Samaritan Center a vibrant force for good in East Hamilton County,” says Samaritan Center executive director Tony Dahlberg. “We have set aside this time to appreciate the generosity of those who have supported this project and celebrate how it enables the Samaritan Center to be an even greater blessing for good.”

The program included remarks by Hamilton County Mayor Jim Coppinger, a presentation of the history of the Center, and a recognition of Bill and Harry Hulsey and their families for their long-time leadership at the Center. The construction project includes expanding the Center’s thrift stores by 50 percent, constructing a large new thrift sorting center, modernizing the Center’s façade and entrance, updating the Center’s client services and office area to improve handicap accessibility, and adding an additional client services office.
