Volunteer Coordinator

The Samaritan Center is a social services agency that operates a thrift store and a volunteer program. We provide rent, mortgage, and utility assistance, food, personal care items, school supplies, and much more to our neighbors in need. Our mission is to meet the basic physical, spiritual, and social needs of people in our area, using the ministry of Jesus as our model.
