Decatur IL GivingTuesday
Tuesday after Thanksgiving
Decatur IL GivingTuesday is an event founded in 2015 to help the community come together and participate in the giving season. It’s an opportunity to improve our community; give back in better, smarter ways; find charities and causes they believe in; and help create a better world.
Hosted each year at First United Methodist Church on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Decatur IL GivingTuesday has so far helped more than two dozen organizations take in more than $105,000 to continue their good work.
The Good Samaritan Inn
The Mission of The Good Samaritan Inn is to create opportunities for the improvement of the lives of our economically disadvantaged neighbors through daily nourishment, life skills education, and job training programs with the support of our community.
Members of First United Methodist Church help to serve at the Good Samaritan Inn on the third Tuesday of each month.
I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.
