Good Samaritan Day was created to honor the memory of  Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, whose tragic death in 1964 inspired reflection on the importance of helping others in times of need. The day calls for everyone to be a Good Samaritan — someone who steps forward to offer kindness, assistance, and empathy, no matter who the person is.
