Samaritan Inns & The Deeds of Kindness

by

Christmas is a time of giving and, we here at Samaritan Inns were more than happy to take part! This year, Samaritan Inns partnered with Deeds of Kindness Outreach Services, a community organization dedicated to aiding suffering humanity in the DC Metro area through community-based programs and events that foster self-improvement and personal empowerment.

Samaritan Inns decided to support their mission this Holiday season. Our Affordable Housing Communities Program conducted a donation drive, collecting nonperishable food items and clothing from our residents to give to Deeds of Kindness families. Furthermore, Samaritan Inns receives turkeys through Food 4 Families, supported by NBC 4 and the Washington Wizards. This year, we were able to pass some of those along to Deeds of Kindness to support their families, and bring holiday cheer.

We have truly enjoyed this new partnership. We are grateful for the opportunity to extend our support beyond our program and serve throughout the DC community. Feeling truly blessed this holiday season and we look forward to extending our service with Deeds of Kindness throughout the year!

The Many Gifts of Christmas

by

Dear Samaritan Inns Friends,

As we enter the Holiday season, we are reminded of the incredible gifts we are given by family and friends and, sometimes, from surprising places.

Here at Samaritan Inns, we know a lot about the surprising gifts. The clients who come to our Inns are seeking the gift of healing. However, they come away from our program with many more gifts. And, truly, we do too. Each client may come with a lot of wounds, but they also come bearing many gifts. We are blessed by each individual and what they share with us: their stories, music, art, poetry, compassion, and many others.

This Christmas, I am grateful for the gifts that we receive every day. Our entire family is blessed by each new face, whether they be a client, donor, volunteer, or staff member. Thank you for your gifts, and I wish every one of you a Merry Christmas!

With Gratitude,
