The carriage itself is a bus with a lift that can seat up to five people in wheelchairs. We are partnered with eleven nursing homes. Each nursing home is designated one day a month to go on a special outing with a team of volunteers. Each team of volunteers is made up of five companions and a driver. The companions push the guests in wheelchairs and spend time getting to know the guests for a visit to an attraction and lunch. There is no charge for the outings. In 2025 we went on 91 outings and served 454 guests. Samaritan's Carriage has provided joy through outings for persons with mobility restrictions at no cost to the guests. We serve eleven care facilities with outings once per month from April through December each year. Our bus is capable of handling five wheelchairs along with volunteer companions. We spend a day at Grand Rapids, Michigan area attractions and provide lunch. In 2025 we went on 91 outings serving 454 guests. 0 59809 59809 William Botts President 5 0 0 0 Barry Meerman Secretary 1 0 0 0 Douglas Sieplinga Treasurer 10 0 0 0 Sara Buchholz Executive Director 15 21000 0 0 Mary Van Wingerden Board Member 0 0 0 0 Ruth Schoon Board Member 0 0 0 0 Karen Weaver Board Member 0 0 0 0 Abbie Holt Board Member 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MI Douglas Sieplinga 3031 Baker Park Dr SE Grand Rapids MI 49508 6163045415 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 16426 44803 87231 265469 50179 464108 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16426 44803 87231 265469 50179 464108 240530 223578 42 532 3500 12434 7902 24410 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 488518 0.45767 0.5 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Insurance;15017|Meals and Outing Cost;11397|Gasoline;2247|Volunteer Appreciation;930|Miscellaneous;214|Donor Perfect Software;1371|Memberships;575|Office Supplies;197|Web Page;509|Bank Service Fee;21^Total;32478^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Unknown balance discrepancy.
