Samaritan Community Center in Rogers Rebuilding Thrift One Month After Tornado

Just a month after its thrift store on Walnut Street in Rogers suffered a direct hit from a tornado, the Samaritan Community Center is taking swift action to rebuild. This prompt response is a testament to the resilience and commitment of the center’s leadership, as exemplified by Debbie Rambo, the executive director. Under her guidance, the community center is demonstrating its dedication to serving the local community, even in the face of adversity.

The Samaritan Community Center, which only recently celebrated the grand opening of its new facility in Rogers after more than a year of construction, has faced another significant setback. The loss of its thrift store means a significant reduction in its ability to provide essential resources. Undaunted, the center has chosen to redirect those seeking assistance to its Springdale location, ensuring that the community’s needs are still being met while rebuilding efforts are underway.

During this challenging period, Catholic Charities has been a vital partner in the Samaritan Community Center’s efforts. The recent repair of the parking lot, made possible by the contributions of key funding partners, is just one example of the impactful collaborations that are supporting the center’s continued growth. These partnerships, combined with the center’s unwavering dedication, will undoubtedly propel its successful revitalization and continued service to the community.
