Each night in DC, more than 11,000 of our neighbors have no place to call home. And today, more than 30,000 are unemployed. At Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington, we help those with the greatest needs in our community to help themselves. One step at a time, we empower them to make positive changes in their lives.
Don't walk by! Stay connected with people who need help. Learn how ordinary people are helping the undefeated survivors of homelessness and unemployment take the next steps to personal sustainability. We send email newsletters monthly.
We say we care for our neighbors, and on April 6, 2019 60 people from the Silver Spring area showed it at the SMGW Maryland Partner Parishes Community Walk for the Homeless in Our Midst!

On Thursday, March 14, almost 300 guests joined Samaritan Ministry at the National Press Club for our 13th annual Next Step Breakfast.

STRIVE, a component of Samaritan Ministry's Next Step Program, is especially tailored to meet the needs of women and men with multiple barriers to employment, including folks who are unemployed long-term, formerly incarcerated, disconnected youth, recovering addicts, public assistance recipients, veterans, homeless, and/or those who are working on the edge of poverty. It offers a distinct combination of attitudinal and job readiness training, along with case work and targeted support services that successfully prepare chronically unemployed individuals for competitive employment opportunities in some of today’s highest growth industries.
