The Partnership

Did You Know?

Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington began in 1986 when 11 Episcopal parishes in the Greater Washington area decided to join St. Stephen and the Incarnation in Adams Morgan to do more than just provide emergency assistance to the growing numbers of homeless people and others in need in the city. They believed that they could do more together than they could do as individual parishes and that has proved to be true. With more than 45 Partner Parishes now, Samaritan Ministry has come a long way since its early years. There is still lots to do - the disparity between the minimum wage and a living wage continues to grow, affordable housing is less and less available to low wage workers, and every year more people lose their jobs and more people become homeless.
