The Salisbury Civitan Club is searching for the county’s outstanding Good Samaritan, who will be honored and recognized with the annual Good Samaritan Award.
The story of the Good Samaritan is the well-known parable from the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37). In it, Jesus is asked, “Who is my neighbor?” and uses the story of the Good Samaritan to illustrate all are neighbors.
The club’s members are looking for someone with a loving spirit and a generous heart who sacrifices time, talent or treasure to serve others joyfully and without hesitation; who demonstrates the attributes of a Good Samaritan in kindness, compassion and service to others.
