Emergency shelter for Men,Women and Children. We offer a food Pantry and Soup Kitchen.

The Samaritan Shelter began in 1986 when two concerned people recognized the sharp increase in our local homeless population. Upon confirming this with the Pocomoke City Police Department and the Department of Social Services, discussions began about this growing crisis. Before long the seven Lower Shore Presbyterian Churches had formed a board to formally combat homelessness in this area. Through the generosity of many area churches of differing faith as well as the Presbytery for Lower Delaware and Eastern Shore of Maryland, the board was able to purchase and renovate a house in Pocomoke --our current location.

Thank you to everyone that helped with our Spaghetti dinner fundraiser Saturday. So much goes into an event like this both before and during the event and then of course the clean up.

There is no way we could do it without the support of our community. You are a wonderful group of people, Pocomoke.
