Samaritans have been a voice of compassion and a healing presence in the Arizona desert since July 1, 2002. They respond directly, practically, and compassionately to the crisis at the US/Mexico border.
Samaritans are a diverse group of volunteers from various faith traditions who are united in their desire to relieve suffering among our brothers and sisters and to honor their human dignity. Prompted by the mounting number of deaths from dehydration and exposure, Samaritans provide emergency medical assistance, food, and water to people crossing the Sonoran Desert. Many of Samaritans’ volunteers are fluent Spanish speakers, and many are nurses, doctors, and wilderness first responders.
Samaritans travel daily on the desert in southern Arizona, continuing the ancient Southwest tradition of hospitality to travelers. They have two 4WD vehicles to navigate backroads and rough terrain. The vehicles carry water, food, emergency medical supplies, communication equipment, maps and individual traveler-packs containing items necessary to survive in the desert.
