We are thrilled to announce that Samaritas will be hosting the Ripples Gala to help raise the necessary funds to support vital programs and services that minister to Michigan’s most vulnerable people and celebrate the impact we are making together.

With our theme, “Come and experience a "WORLD OF DIFFERENCE” – a world of difference Samaritas and you are making in the lives of tens of thousands of Michigan children, families, and seniors – our guests will enjoy food, music, culture and creativity from around the world in an immersive event experience that highlights the lives of the people in our care domestically and from abroad.

You’re not alone if you’re horrified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And with the Taliban retaking control of Afghanistan, people are being forced to flee their country with no place to go at a record pace. Unfortunately, this type of aggression is nothing new to the thousands of families, many of which are women and children, who annually flee from their homeland because they are in danger of being persecuted. Samaritas and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service have taken the lead in resettling New Americans and their families and is currently looking for assistance in supporting refugees coming to Michigan.
