Samaritan Community Center

Rogers, Arkansas

Rogers- and Springdale-based community organization offering recurring, individual, family, group, drive, food, farm, dental, and thrift-shop service.

Samaritan Community Center invites volunteers to make a weekly program commitment, complete a one-time project with friends or family, or coordinate a neighborhood drive. Its current volunteer form lets applicants select the cafe, market, dental program, thrift shops, SnackPacks for Kids, farm, another role, or wherever help is needed, and asks for preferred days and times. SnackPacks is specifically marked unavailable in summer. Because the page does not publish task-level eligibility or shift details, every role below requires confirmation after the form is submitted.
