General Information

  • Volunteer Opportunities / Responsibilities: Samaritan Inns’ Dinner Fellowship Program provides a great opportunity for small groups to connect with the residents of Samaritan Inns. Groups of about 5 individuals formed from businesses, law firms, churches, families, and friends have the opportunity not only to prepare and serve weekend dinner, but also engage in community with our residents by sharing stories and fellowship over a delicious meal. The daily routine of sharing a meal and conversation is a vital part of the recovery process for the residents, so they truly benefit from your company.

    Every spring, summer and fall, Samaritan Inns opens its doors and properties to volunteers who wish to keep our 8 properties clean, warm, and home-like for our residents. We carefully customize meaningful and well-structured activities for groups which can range in size from just a few people to up to 30. Our hope is that, as participants are impacting our organization with their work, they form relationships among themselves, our staff, and our residents.

    Also, if you have any special skills or expertise that you would like to share with our residents, we would be more than happy to have you. With our program, we like to provide as many life skill classes and opportunities to our residents. When you provide your expertise, you provide them opportunities.
