THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON SEPT. 24, 2026!
Since 2006, SAM & Eggs has united our community over breakfast to celebrate the mission and impact of Samaritan Ministries.
At SAM & Eggs 2026, more than 500 community members came together for Samaritan Ministries. We were moved by the story of Jose Perez Jr., who reminded us that lives don’t always change in one dramatic moment. Sometimes change begins in the smallest of moments, when someone chooses to listen, encourage, show compassion, and offer hope.
Jose is now 23 years sober and serves our community as a Peer Support Specialist with Behavioral Health Services, housed at the Forsyth County Libraries, where he helps others navigate their own challenges and paths to recovery. Watch the event video above to hear Jose’s full story and experience more of the program.
Thanks to our incredible sponsors and supporters, we have now raised $286,230.03, exceeding our $275,000 event goal! Your generosity helps provide food, shelter, recovery support, and hope to people in our community every day.
And the impact can go even further. Two anonymous donors are matching all new or increased gifts for a limited time, up to $250,000. Give today and make twice the difference!

Just like Jose, others find healing at Samaritan Ministries. Every day and night of the year, we provide:
- Critical meals for men, women, and children who are hungry — 124,446 meals in 2025.
- Safe shelter for men who do not have a home — 480 men served in 2025.
- Education and long-term support for addiction recovery through Project Cornerstone.
With your faithful support, we have remained a lifeline for so many in our community.
