Volunteer

Volunteers are key to the success of our families and programs at Samaritan House!

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has legal responsibility for the management of the affairs of Samaritan House. Board members must ensure that the organization is operated for a charitable/public purpose and not for private benefit. They must keep the resources and efforts focused on the mission of the organization.

Committee Volunteers

Each Samaritan House fundraiser has its own committee made up of dedicated and creative volunteers! Dancing with the Coastal Stars, the Afternoon Tea and the Gala Dinner and Auction are planned and executed by our team of amazing volunteers - and collectively raise almost $100,000 for our programs and services! Interested in serving on a fundraising committee? Please reach out via Facebook or call our office to get connected to committee that needs your skills and talents.
