Take a step toward volunteering in a meaningful volunteer position with Samaritan Ministry. We need front office coordinators, computer mentors, resume writers, and casework associates to help our participants, many who are homeless, take steps toward a better life. The Next Step Program works because of the many volunteers who give their time to this ministry. Call or email Dianne Lewis at 202-722-2280 x 319 or dlewis@samaritanministry.org to find out more.
