Catholic Charities of Diocese of Palm Beach Inc., Samaritan Center, Children 's Services Advisory Committee Grant <br /> • Annual mailings to Churches and service providers regarding services provided <br /> • Media opportunities including newspaper articles, quarterly Samaritan Center Newsletter, <br /> distribution of brochures, fundraising activities, radio & TV talk shows. <br /> 6. How will the program be accessible to target population (i.e. location, transportation, <br /> hours of operation)? <br /> Samaritan Center holds an orientation/screening for those families seeking shelter. This must be <br /> completed prior to a family moving into the facility. These families are usually able to transport <br /> themselves or secure transportation through a family member, friend etc . On the rare occasion <br /> that they are unable to reach us on their own, we will provide transportation via the Center Van. <br /> Once a family has moved into the Center, if they do not have their own vehicle, we encourage <br /> them to be resourceful in attempts to find transportation through the community bus, or <br /> family/friends . If they are unsuccessful, we do provide transportation to their case related <br /> appointments (ex . Medical, employment, school, court, off premises educational workshops and <br /> Samaritan Center planned Social Activities) . We do not provide transport for personal outings. <br /> We are very fortunate to periodically have vehicles donated to our program. We in turn, donate <br /> the vehicle to a resident that is without transportation. This is an assurance that when they <br /> graduate from our program they will continue to have transportation to their employment, <br /> necessary appointments, groceries, etc . <br /> 8 <br />
