The Samaritan Duck
What is the Samaritan Duck?
The Samaritan Duck is a simple, joyful way to spread hope in our community. Each duck represents a small act of kindness that points to something bigger – real help for real people. Placed throughout the community, these ducks spark conversations and connect neighbors to the support, resources, and opportunities available at the Samaritan Center.
Every duck includes a QR code so anyone who finds one can quickly learn how to get help, shop our store or join in serving others.

Become a Samaritan Duck Ambassador
Want to make an impact in a simple, meaningful way? Become an ambassador.
To make sure every duck carries our story, we want our ambassadors to be the voice of our mission. If you’d like to join the flock, we invite you to take a tour of the Samaritan Center. This helps so that you can speak confidently about our work and why these ducks matter.
Guidelines for giving out ducks:
- Make it personal: Try to hand a duck to someone and share a brief word about the Samaritan Center.
- Be thoughtful: We want to make sure the message is seen and shared, not just the toy! Aim for meaningful interactions or placement, over random drops.
- Be creative: If you duck a location rather than a person, choose iconic spots like the local library, a famous landmark, or a high-traffic area.
Need more ducks?
Once you have shared your first three ducks, stop back by the Samaritan Center. Tells us a quick story about your interactions and where you placed your ducks, and we will get you refilled and ready to spread more hope!
