Our Vision
Samaritan House is devoted to serving the most vulnerable within our community of Barrie and Simcoe County. It is our passion to extend our assistance and services to those struggling from various social and physical setbacks. Individuals whom we have been able to serve include those struggling with violence and/or poverty including many working poor families or single parents struggling to survive on minimum wage income. Others are recovering from domestic abuse situations, mental or physical illness, as well as unemployment issues.
The heart of our agency is to offer hope and to create community. Samaritan House strives to accomplish this through meeting our clients needs via advocacy, housing or many of the programs we offer to assist them. It is our goal that we can work with our clients to empower such persons to become self-sufficent.
