Samaritan Community Center

to Samaritan Community Center, a faith-based, non-profit organization founded 18 years ago with a strong commitment to “breaking the cycle of hopelessness” in Northwest Arkansas. This commitment by the staff and volunteers is freely given to individuals and families regardless of their faith. In addition to offering a helping hand, the Center also believes in providing their clients with the guidance needed to navigate the path to emotional and physical healing.

Last year the Samaritan Community Center reached out to more than 25,000 individuals and families in crisis. Given today’s economy, the Center expects to serve 30% more people than last year; this increase in individuals asking for assistance includes many who have never needed this level of personal assistance. Being in a position to ask for help in meeting a core human need causes many to experience emotional turmoil about their request for help.

With the needs of their clients in mind, the Samaritan Community Center has offices in Springdale and Rogers and operates a Thrift Store. In addition, the Center operates a soup kitchen, provides counseling services, offers emergency dental assistance to clients in need, and offers food items from their food pantry. For many of the clients the Samaritan Community Center serves, the most important thing offered is HOPE. Now more than ever people need the love and guidance of Christ and his followers. Please join their mission to “break the cycle of hopelessness.”
