Mission: Samaritan Women was founded in 1999 by Nancy C. Dixon, who was the Chaplain to the women at Fresno County Jail. Nancy saw that many women did want to change their lives but were becoming discouraged and often were again incarcerated. Samaritan Women empowers women who have expressed a desire to break the cycle of crime in their lives, to make choices that will help them fulfill God's purpose for them in their families and communities. Our vision and purpose is Changing Lives to break the cycle of crime by reaching out to women and their children, building stronger families, restoring hope and confidence and making a safer community.
