What went through your mind when you last saw this?

"I don't have time…" "I don't have cash…" "Will cash help?"
Samaritan uses bluetooth to send you a notification when you’re close to a homeless beacon holder. You can learn of their story and give directly towards critical, unmet needs.
The beacon holder can use funds at partnered stores or nonprofits to buy what they need to survive or leave the street.
To keep their beacon active, beacon holders meet with a counselor monthly to set and follow up on goals.
Over time, good things happen in the context of good relationships—from housing to job training, addiction recovery, and employment.

As much as others ignore them, you don't have to.

We're never more likely to do something than in the moment we see the need with our own two eyes.

This app exists to provide a simple, compassionate response.
