Donations

Samaritans is an all-volunteer faith and conscience-based organization that relies completely on volunteers to carry out the mission of provision of water, food, and medical aid. We hope that by making you, the public, aware of our needs that we can continue to sustain the work that we have carried on since Summer 2002.  All donations are tax-deductible and all donations great and small are deeply appreciated.  It is a good way for those of you who do not live on the border to make a difference. 
Donations can be sent to:
