Local Contributions.    Elmwood-El Buen Samaritano (EEBS) Church has served Oak Cliff & area since 1939. Below are many of EEBS services to our Community in the past 2 or 3 years; please read the list. Pandemic eliminated our annual Garage Sale fundraiser. Twice we applied for a federal grant/loan but the funds were already gone. We hope that you will help us continue to provide services for our area residents and Donate in the Neighborhood. We can accept checks or electronically.
