VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) In a form of repaying an earlier good deed, the Good Samaritan Foundation awarded the Vincennes YMCA a check in the amount of $5,000 on Dec. 23 to assist the organization through the COVID pandemic.
Foundation Director Gary Hackney, and Foundation Development Specialist Nicole Coomer, presented the check to Pat Herman, YMCA CEO. Also in attendance were YMCA employees Bill Davis, Youth Director, and Susie Land, Business Manager.

This impromptu daycare lasted eight weeks, was operational when other child care facilities had closed down and came at no cost to the hospital. Good Samaritan’s Foundation
