The Samaritan Center provides a hot,
nutritious meal daily to those who are in need
without questions or pre-conditions.

The Samaritan Center is a 501c3, interfaith effort
to feed the homeless and needy men, women and children of Syracuse.

It is rooted in the belief that sound nutrition is the first step 
in enabling people to cope and become productive, 
self-sufficient members of society.

Our guests include both the young and the not so young, 
those who are well educated and those who are not,
individuals and families, people whose lives are bound 
by the prison of substance abuse, people who are well 
and those who face the challenge of illness. 

Men, women and children who have in common 
their humanity, their poverty and their sincere gratitude 
for a place of safety and warmth and 
a nutritious meal offered every day of the year.

It begins with a meal.

Each meal that we serve at the Samaritan Center is the centerpiece of our outreach.

Without preconditions, we invite those in need to join us for a nutritious, well prepared meal every day of the year.

Our dining room is a pleasant, welcoming place that supports the contention that we are all made in God's image.

Those same meals, from 150 to 300 a day, have provided more than 500 volunteers with the means by which they can "give back ".  

To find a depth of meaning for their God-given talents and to see reflected in the eyes of our guests, the same Godliness that lies in their own.

The more modern term is leverage.

We have leveraged our modest resources to increase the quality of life for many more than those whom we serve.
