Deborah and Rex Amini have generously offered a Challenge Grant to benefit SAMMinistries. They have pledged to match all donations received through September 30, 2010, up to a total of $250,000. This wonderful opportunity means your gift will help twice as much! Please donate today to help us meet the challenge.

A lot has changed in the last 27 years! We have gone from a part-time overnight men's shelter to a multi-facility, multi-program ministry; serving hundreds of men, women and children, each and every day. Just as we have changed with the times to meet the needs of the community, we thought this is the perfect time to reflect these changes within our branding.
