This week our featured charity is Samaritan House.

Samaritan House is a community service organization devoted to assisting with the basic needs of individuals and families within our community . By recognizing the needs of those in crisis and mobilizing local organizations and volunteers , Samaritan House has consistently provided emergency services to our neighbors since 1994. In this endeavor, the first priority has been to help feed those in need; however, other basic necessities, such as shelter, clothing and utilities are also concerns addressed in our program.
