Program areas at Samaritan Center

The 2022-2023 fiscal year was marked by the slow but grateful transition out of the covid environment. Samaritan operations gradually shifted from offering take-out meals daily, with limited dine-in seating in compliance with local health directives, to full, normal, sit-down operations in september 2022. Samaritan served over 87,000 meals for those in need. This number represents an approximate 25% increase from the previous fiscal year. This work is accomplished through the dedication of 9 staff and the assistance of approximately 1000 community volunteers, including 128 community groups assisting in the first half of 2023. Meals continue to be provided twice a day, without questions or pre-conditions. The return to full sit-down meals on our traditional china plates, with flatware and ceramic coffee mugs has been accompanied by the return of a sense of community, an element critical to our guests and fundamental to the essence of Samaritan. We continued to provide additional take-home food resources for guests as they become available- fresh produce, and canned goods especially, providing increased food resources for our guests and their families. In addition to meals, 244 individuals were assisted through our case management services with issues related to substance misuse, housing, employment, benefits, and mental health support. A primary challenge for our population is the lack of quality affordable housing in the community- often slowing the transition out of homelessness or forcing a move into substandard housing. Samaritan is planning to expand its case management program during 2023-2024, allowing us to provide additional support in our guests' journey toward self-sufficiency. During the first half of 2023, another 266 individuals were assisted through community agency outreach on site, linking guests with necessary supports and services, almost 5000 individuals were assisted through our basic needs closet with items such as shampoo, soap and toilet paper and over 600 children were provided with free diapers through our monthly diaper distribution. We saw an increase in the number of individuals seeking assistance for the first time as sky-rocketing inflation negatively impacted purchasing power, for our guests and for the organization.
