Features & Capabilities

Samaritan is a compassionate Chrome extension designed to bridge the gap between bystanders and those facing hardships on the streets. By simply crossing paths with a Samaritan Beacon Holder, users receive a notification on their device showcasing the personal story of an individual in need—a single mom, a homeless teen, or a grandfather. This immediate connection encourages empathy and provides a straightforward way to contribute $1 or more towards essential items like food, clothing, or fuel.

Currently available in Seattle, WA, Samaritan empowers everyday people to respond meaningfully in real-time moments of need. It's a unique tool to reveal humanity in urban life and foster kindness within the community. Start making a tangible impact with Samaritan today.
