Samaritan – Walk With, Not By

GiveSafe Apps

About this app

“When I got my first gift from a Samaritan, I was in the library crying at the thought that someone out there cares about me.”

Samaritan is a dignified and secure channel to support the journey toward stable housing. There are plenty of reasons why the single mom with a car full of belongings, the veteran on the street corner, or the teen outside the supermarket experiencing homelessness are often overlooked:

“I don’t have cash”
“I don’t know if they will spend it on true needs”
“I don’t know if it will make a real dent”

Now, you know. Samaritan invites you to join their journey and feel confident that your social capital - both your talents and money - are going toward core needs. Send a $25 gift for food and medical bills, invite them to coffee, or message words of encouragement for greater accountability.

Samaritan is currently serving members in Seattle, Oklahoma City, and Orange County and aiming to serve 100+ communities by 2025. Want your community supported, too? Contact us and let us know where you are!

Ratings and reviews

I really like this app for many reasons. One in particular is that I can donate anonymously (or not if I choose). I think this is a clever idea and I hope it gets adopted in more locations by more people (donors and receivers).

For people skeptical of an app being able to affect homelessness, I was skeptical at first. But this is a great application that serves as a means of intervention for the homeless. A lot of the problem seems to be people not having the means of getting off the street, and this is a step in the right direction!

Thank you so much for this app! You are awesome people. I was looking for an app like this to help people for a long time since I came to Los Angeles. I am feeling a little relieved to finally find an app to help unhoused people at Los Angeles(and other cities). I recommend this app to everyone who is reading the review
