Samaritan vs Wolon

“When I got my first gift from a Samaritan, I was in the library crying at the thought that someone out there cares about me.” Samaritan is a dignified and secure channel to support the journey toward stable housing. There are plenty of reasons why the single mom with a car full of belongings, the veteran on the street corner, or the teen outside the supermarket experiencing homelessness are often overlooked: “I don’t have cash” “I don’t know if they will spend it on true needs” “I don’t know if it will make a real dent” Now, you know. Samaritan invites you to join their journey and feel confident that your social capital - both your talents and money - are going toward core needs. Send a $25 gift for food and medical bills, invite them to coffee, or message words of encouragement for greater accountability. Samaritan is currently serving members in Seattle, Oklahoma City, and Orange County and aiming to serve 100+ communities by 2025. Want your community supported, too?

Wolon is a community platform where you can both Get Help and Give Help ** Get Help: If you are a help-seeker looking for any kind of help from volunteers, you can find help and get connected with them easily by creating a help request and waiting for the volunteers to reach out. ** Help Others: Help out those in need, by offering help to nearby help-seekers around you. Navigate to the "Help Others" Screen. Choose a nearby help seeker, and offer a helping hand. After the seeker accepts your request, you will get the information you need to get in contact and help them out.
