Formerly Lutheran Social Services, Samaritas has supported vulnerable populations in Michigan for over 90 years, offering services like Foster Care, Affordable Housing, Mental Health and Substance Abuse support, and New American Families Refugee and Refugee Foster Care. Hope Lutheran Church has long supported Samaritas, especially its New American Families programs.

Urgent action: Stand with Refugees! The federal government has stopped all funding for recently arrived refugee families in Michigan. Your support is crucial to receive the care and services they were promised. To learn more about Samaritas or to donate, click here.
