Testimonials
This organization is making a BIG impact in St. Tammany Parish and the lives of our foster youth and the families who care for them. They have an amazing new facility, allowing them to do MORE for kids. It is well worth looking up their programs and spending some time with them. Besides what they do for foster youth, they are incredibly grateful for any assistance you give. We've all donated time or money to local organizations and felt like they weren't all that grateful. James Samaritan is not that way! Take some time to see what they do!

Their staff always ensures that the youth feel that they matter and they help in any way possible! They have made extraordinary impacts in the lives of so many youth and left imprints that will always be remembered!

James Samaritan is truly serving the kids and youth of the Northshore. They go to where the need is the greatest and do whatever it takes to serve. James 1:27, "Pure and undefiled religion is this, to care for widows and orphans in their distress."
This is who James Samaritan is!
