Our 50th anniversary gala, Cheers to 50 Years, was a huge success and it’s all thanks to our community! Together, we raised over a million dollars to support Samaritan House programs and celebrate 50 years of doing good in San Mateo County. We are so grateful for your support.
Whether you donated, volunteered, or cheered us on from home, your support means the world to us and our clients.
Alicia, a client of Samaritan House, shared her touching story with us at the gala. If you haven’t seen it or want to share it with a friend, you can watch it here.
