Our deepest thanks for our biggest backpack drive ever. We have collected a total of over 1600 backpacks filled with school supplies for kids in need!
On behalf of the children of Samaritan House and our partner agencies, thank you for giving kids the opportunity to start the school year with the same sense of confidence and readiness as their more affluent peers. We wish to thank the many many individuals who donated backpacks, school supplies and cash contributions. We also extend our gratitude to the many volunteers who contributed their time, talent and heart. None of it would be possible without you all!
