They are a mission project of the Peru Community Church, but are a totally separate entity, and are not religiously affiliated. Samaritan opened originally in Keene in 1980, but moved into the current counseling center and became a new legal entity in 2009. They are housed on Elm Street, in the building adjoining the Peru Community Church.

Ò We value the beliefs that people bring with them, and we work within the constraints of what they bring with them.Ó Samaritan Family Counceling Center Executive Director Don Haight at Samaritan’s Elm Street, Peru office..
