A road map for arbors

Gleaner's Samaritan program is an open-ended road map offering arbors a path for helping their communities. The program provides arbors with suggested activity options from patriotic activities to supporting youth and the elderly while remaining broad enough to meet their community's individual needs. 

Each Gleaner arbor, through monthly meetings and activities, develops its own local interests and community purpose. Through donations of time, work and money, worthwhile projects take place on behalf of hundreds of local civic and charitable causes. Arbors participate in the Samaritan program. This program promotes growth and stability in the arbors. Through Impact Activities and Additional Activities, arbors can meet the specific needs of their community.

To help fund projects and activities, Gleaner provides arbors with seed money each year. In addition, arbors can earn additional funds by completing activities outlined in the Samaritan program.
