Our deepest gratitude to everyone who supported Samaritan House’s 2026 gala, Hats Off to Ending Hunger! Thanks to you, our event raised a record $1.1M, which will be put to work fighting poverty and lifting lives in our community.
In a time when changes to programs like SNAP and Medicaid threaten to destabilize our neighbors living in poverty, this act of unity and generosity offers hope.
Special thanks to our sponsors and volunteer planning committee. Your generous investment and tireless dedication to the Gala made it a resounding success. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
