Safe Harbor Shelter residents had an awesome birthday party this month, celebrating the 10 residents who have an August birthday!

This is the second time Safe Harbor Shelter has had a birthday bash. The first one happened last May and was orchestrated with the help of a former Safe Harbor Shelter resident and her church, Central Peninsula.

I must tell you, it feels so glorious to be back there and be with the residents,not only did the residents have a fun time, we (volunteers) had so much fun spending time with them too.

Samaritan House plans to continue putting on this event as long as it as it makes the residents happy.

Homeless individuals 18 years and older and from San Mateo County are permitted to enter the shelter on a first-come, first-served basis.
