Welcome to the Umoja Unity Circle
At the heart of the Good Samaritan Project’s mission to serve with compassion and dignity, the Umoja Unity Circle is a vibrant, community-centered program designed specifically for seniors. Inspired by the Kwanzaa principle of Umoja, meaning unity, and guided by the scripture “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1), this program brings together faith, fellowship, cultural pride, and holistic wellness.
Umoja Unity Circle is more than an initiative — it’s a sacred space where elders are valued, stories are preserved, and connections are strengthened.
Who we serve
Umoja Unity Circle is open to all seniors age 60 and older, with a special focus on low-income, African-American, and historically underserved elders in Tippecanoe, White, Benton, Carroll, Montgomery, and Clinton counties.
Why It Matters
Many seniors in our community face isolation, limited resources, and a lack of culturally affirming care. Umoja Unity Circle fills that gap with love, laughter, faith, and a deep respect for every life story. We believe our elders deserve consistent, joyful, and community-rooted care.
