Dear Editor,

I am writing to shed light on the invaluable work carried out by the Sullivan Area Ministerial Association (SAMA) and to call upon the generosity of our community.

For decades, SAMA has been a beacon of hope for those facing adversity in Moultrie County. The scope of their assistance is vast, covering essential needs such as utilities, rent, automotive support, hotel stays, food, fuel, and even Christmas Certificates. It’s heartening to know that, over a 12-month period, SAMA distributes substantial funds to support thousands of individuals within our community.

This year, one noteworthy project helped by SAMA was the provision of school supply boxes to 124 students in Sullivan. Such initiatives showcase the association’s commitment to addressing various facets of need, ensuring that no one is left behind in their pursuit of a better life. Read More
