WHO WE ARE

Meet Samuel

Sometimes you meet someone and they make you want to smile! 

That's Samuel;  kind, thoughtful and generous with a contagious smile.  He is also determined; a character trait that would prove invaluable as he confronted cancer in 2015.  One day at a time, one appointment at a time, one treatment at a time; Samuel battled.  And he made friends all along the way.
More about Samuel's Story

"Samuel's Supper"

When 11 year old Samuel was diagnosed with cancer in 2015, a benefit supper, dubbed "Samuel's Supper", was hosted by the local church, elementary school, and surrounding community.  Free will offerings from the event were given to Samuel’s family (The Golladays) to help with medical expenses during Samuel’s treatments.

Support for the Golladays came from all over the country by way of prayers, events, and monetary donations. But the idea of hosting a “Samuel’s Supper” again in the future to benefit others became the means by which the Golladay family could return kindness to the communities that had graciously given to them.  From 2015-2018, a “Samuel’s Supper” meal was held annually at the Fairfield United Methodist Church with donations designated to support local families who had a child needing critical medical care.  These events raised over $12,000.

In the spring of 2018, directorship of Samuel’s Supper was passed to the Golladays, who then transformed Samuel’s Supper into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization capable of serving the community on a larger scale.
