Day 305 - Gave My Time at a Homeless Program

Today I began my weekly volunteer work at The Samaritan Inn in McKinney.  They offer a comprehensive homeless program that helps willing people gain dignity and independence.  

The Samaritan Inn is more than just a place to spend the night. It is a holistic program that teaches self-sufficiency and life skills. To assist the needs of individuals and families before, during, and after a homeless situation, The Samaritan Inn provides interactive, in-house programs for its residents and graduates. Those with special needs are referred to additional programs and resources available within the community to help during their crisis.

Community members wishing to help the Samaritan Inn by volunteering are asked to go through a brief volunteer orientation session, interview and background check.  Once "official" volunteers are able to help in the daycare, the thrift store, as a hostess, as a computer teacher, a tutor, administrative helper and more. 

From the Samaritan Inn website:
Contributions from our volunteer work team are invaluable to the success of The Samaritan Inn. Our volunteers are an integral part of the work team and perform a wide range of diverse services. 

So for today's random act of kindness I began my volunteer work at Samaritan Inn.
