A message from the Samaritan Center 💙

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community and the donations we receive to support those experiencing homelessness.

However, we kindly ask that donations ONLY be dropped off during our business hours. Please do not leave items outside our building after hours. Unfortunately, items left outside are often damaged, become trash, or include items that we cannot use.

As a homeless drop-in center, our mission is to provide practical support and essential resources. Before donating, please ask yourself: "Would a person experiencing homelessness be able to use this item?" For example, we have no use for items such as doll houses, BBQ grills, broken household goods, or other items that do not serve the needs of our clients.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Your thoughtful donations help us better serve those in need and ensure that resources are used effectively. Thank you for supporting our community.
