Samaritan Ministry is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people who are homeless or in need to help themselves. The agency's Next Step self-sufficiency approach allows Participants to set life improvement goals for themselves and with the help of Samaritan Ministry staff, determine a series of manageable, specific tasks toward the fulfillment of those goals.  Services such as housing and employment counseling, coaching, motivation, and so much more are offered by our program.

Samaritan Ministry offers free help to anyone who wants to make a change in his or her life.  There is no religious requirement for Program Participants of Samaritan Ministry.
