Salina Presbyterian Manor Soup Supper with a Twist

This year marks the 43rd Annual Soup Supper, which supports the Good Samaritan Program.

The story of the Good Samaritan coming to the aid of a stranger in Luke 10:29-37 is one of the most loved parables of the gospels. Like many Bible stories, its lesson has become part of our culture.

In the early 1950s, Dr. Nelson, the first administrator for what was then known as the United Presbyterian Foundation saw a need for residents outliving their resources. Staying true to our Christian mission, Dr. Nelson dreamed of a way for residents to remain in their safe and caring environment. He made a plea to the community developing the Good Samaritan Program to help defray costs.

​Since 1980, members of Salina Presbyterian Manor, have been serving the needs of older adults in our community. But, they are only able to follow our calling and mission thanks to the help of people like you

"The Good Samaritan Program means that loved ones have security for their needs as they age. This program made it possible for my parents to live out their last months very comfortably. They supported the Soup Supper, and we are proud to be able to pay it forward.”
