We're waiting for your call

Whatever you're going through, a Samaritan will face it with you. We're here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Every six seconds, we respond to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure. We're here for anyone who needs someone.

Being a Samaritan means being there for people who need someone to listen. Last year over 20,000 people volunteered their time with us.
