Samaritan Ministry of Washington DC | Improving the lives of the homeless or disadvantaged

About Samaritan Ministry

Each night in DC, more than 12,000 of our neighbors have no place to call home. And today, more than 30,000 are unemployed. At Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington, we help those with the greatest needs in our community to help themselves. One step at a time, we empower them to make positive changes in their lives.

Partner Parishes Stepping Up

Samaritan Ministry is grateful for the support of our partner parishes, donors, and partner service providers.
