Join us for a thrilling evening at our Annual Gala, “Hats Off To Ending Hunger”!

Samaritan House invites you to don your finest Derby hats and festive attire as we celebrate decades of service and community impact in San Mateo County.

Inspired by the elegance and excitement of the Kentucky Derby, this unforgettable evening will honor the powerful strides we’ve made in providing food, shelter, healthcare, and clothing to neighbors in need. With deep roots in compassion and service, we continue to race forward—together—toward a future where everyone thrives.

This celebratory event is made possible by our incredible community of individuals, families, foundations, corporations, and partners. Your presence and support of the gala are the key to our ongoing success.

The evening will feature Southern-inspired fare, signature cocktails, a spirited live auction, live music, and a heartfelt program—all with a Derby flair.

Join us for Hats Off To Ending Hunger: Where Compassion Wins and Community Soars!
