Appointments are very important on a refugee's journey towards self-sufficiency. However, most clients do not have transportation upon arrival, so we need volunteer help getting them there!
Timing can be flexible based on the volunteer's availability, and clients will be coming from mainly the following counties: Macomb & Wayne County.
If you are interested in supporting in this way, please respond to this opportunity for more information. Let us know your availability, and from there we will connect you with to our Transportation Team. When transportation for a client is needed, the Transportation Team will go through the list of volunteers who have signed up for this opportunity, review the availability you have provided, and then reach out to see if you are interested in volunteering for that specific transportation need.
As one of the largest refugee resettlement agencies in the state, Samaritas has resettled thousands of people from dozens of countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Central and South America. Samaritas has been the Michigan affiliate of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service since the 1950s.
