Samaritan House

Helping Our Neighbors in Need

Feeding Northwestern Macomb County since 1995



"Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you have been taught by God to love each other."

1 Thessalonians 4:9

Our Vision

Samaritan House will be recognized in the community as the Heart and Hands of Christ.

Our Mission

Samaritan House is a community service organization devoted to serving individuals and families within our community by recognizing their needs and mobilizing the means for dealing with those needs so that suffering can be relieved, dignity preserved, and love shared.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Orchard Ridge Church of the Nazarene Youth Group

Thank you to Pastor Steve Barkey, Samaritan House Board of Directors member Sue Dudgeon and the Youth Group from Orchard Ridge Church of the Nazarene, for sharing your time and talents with Samaritan House.

After a tour of Samaritan House the Youth Group put together boxes for our Easter Program and helped prepare bags for our Adopt a Bag Program.  Our Adopt a Bag Program coordinates with our sponsoring churches to provide Samaritan House with essential food items needed to fill our pantry. 

We thank all of the members of our sponsoring churches who participate in this program.  We could not do what we do without the support of the membership from our sponsoring churches.  Thank you!

Our Volunteer of the Month,
Paige L.

Thank you to Paige for joining our volunteer team here at Samaritan House.  Paige has been with us for a short time, but is already training to work in several different areas, including pantry, front desk and supervisor. Paige has been donating to Samaritan House for years and decided since her scheduled opened up she would like to donate her time as well, helping others. Paige has a kind heart and truly enjoys giving to others. When she's not volunteering at Samaritan House, Paige loves to work out, walk, golf and bike ride.

Paige also enjoys attending the Samaritan House fundraisers, especially when she wins a raffle basket. .  We are blessed to have such amazing volunteers!!
 If you are interested in volunteering, please stop by and fill out an application, or for more details call Judy at 586-336-9956.
