Sonjia’s Circle celebrates the remarkable leadership of our longtime executive director, Sonjia Kurosky. This year, individuals across our community stepped up to lead online fundraising teams and inspire others to GIVE HOPE during Penny Campaign 2025. Thanks to your support, these teams helped provide food, shelter, and hope through Christian love.

Below, you’ll find our online fundraising campaign winners and the awards recognizing their outstanding achievements. Together, Sonjia’s Circle raised $13,862.50, providing meals for 4,113 guests in need at Samaritan Ministries. If you’d like to add to their impact, it’s never too late to donate.
