We get by with a little help from our friends

We depend on the work done by our incredible volunteers in order to successfully continue our service within the community. In order to run a smooth and efficient meal operation, assistance is needed daily from dedicated volunteers whose ages range from elementary school children to retires.  

We welcome groups of co-workers, friends, families, sports teams, as well as individuals! Any help is greatly needed as well as appreciated. Volunteer Opportunities include assisting with breakfast and dinner service, cleaning, making sandwiches, and helping with meal preparations. 20 to 25 volunteers are needed during meal service hours, and 4 to 5 are needed for pre-meal preparation and cleaning. Monthly special project groups also require the work of 10 to 15 volunteers in order to assist with cleaning, painting, maintenance, and making sandwiches and desserts.

Special Opportunities for the Holidays!

We are so grateful to all who have volunteered during this holiday season.  We are thankful to say we have enough volunteers for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve but we are in need of volunteers for New Year's Day!  If you are interested in volunteering please give us a call to see if there is availability- remember pop-ins are problematic :)    As a final thought, we have a saying around here, " Hunger Never Takes a Vacation"... please remember us throughout the year for an awesome volunteer experience.

To volunteer, please call us at (315)472-0650 and ask for our volunteer coordinator.  You can also email us at volunteer@samcenter.org

Helping or Hosting an Event

We not only rely on our volunteers to help keep our organization successfully functioning, we also depend on the multiple fundraising events which benefit the Samaritan Center. We always could use an extra set of hands – who couldn’t these days?  Volunteers are always needed to help with planning, soliciting donations, and staffing our annual events. Hosting an upcoming event to benefit the Samaritan Center is always welcome too.  

To volunteer for a event, or to host an event, please contact our Development Director at development@samcenter.org
