About This Cause
Since 1974, Samaritan House has been serving low-income families and individuals in San Mateo County. Our services are designed to meet the immediate and basic needs of our clients for food, clothing, shelter, health care, worker resources, and counseling services. With the help of thousands of volunteers and donors every year, Samaritan House helps meet the basic daily needs of more than 14,000 individuals in our community. All of our services and programs are designed to provide quality resources and effective evaluation to our clients in order to help them become more stable and secure in our community. Services we provide include: Food Assistance: Over 145,000 meals are served each year by our kitchen, pantry and dining hall to low-income individuals in our community. Counseling & Case Management: A full-time, bilingual staff sees over 450 clients and counsels another 50 by phone each month to assess and handle their needs with our many programs. Medical & Dental Clinics: We provide 10,000 patient visits each year to uninsured and underinsured individuals. Kids' Closet: Families in-need receive new and gently used clothing for their children. Safe Harbor Shelter: We provide warm beds, meals, drug and alcohol counseling, referrals, job training programs and housing assistance to 90 homeless men and women per night. Worker Resources: The Worker Resource Center allows those looking for work to meet with potential employers in a safe environment. Holiday Assistance: Low-income families can celebrate the holidays with food and toys provided during the months of November and December. At Samaritan House, our ability to help others is dependent upon others helping us. Your generosity is invaluable and vital to meeting the basic needs of our community.
