Samaritan Works

Samaritan Works Samaritan Works is a faith based sober living program, providing housing, education, and advocacy. Residential sober living houses are just the beginning.

Our recovery homes are certified with ORH as Level II recovery homes. Samaritan Works offers people in recovery a way to advance toward a new life in a sober, safe, compassionate and healing, faith-filled community. The program also works with hundreds of people each year who need assistance through referrals, planning, coaching and supports. While receiving funding from the Shelby County United Way, the 501(c)3 non-profit is able to provide all of these services through the generosity of our community.

Continuous Growth
What began with 13 organizations in 2017 has grown to 30 organizations in 2026, with even more growth anticipated in the future.

Every year, more an more organizations join us the Community Foundation for Match Day. Planning for this growth, and ensuring we give fair opportunities to all of the nonprofits, requires having a timeline that works for the nonprofits. By moving Match Day, we’re better aligning with the nonprofit funding cycles, and making sure there is funding available for their match.

Our office is closed Jan 19, in honor of MLK. Please call us Tuesday at 937-638-4545 to ask about our services.
