For 50 years, Samaritan House has been leading the fight against poverty in San Mateo County. We are the only organization that delivers essential services and personalized support to connect the people living in poverty among us to the full range of resources and services they need. More than just ensuring our clients are fed, clothed, healthy, and housed, we help them create their own stability and remain an active, successful part of the community. As a professionally led, volunteer-supported, and client-centered organization, Samaritan House is focused on lifting everyone we serve out of poverty. We work closely with our partners to provide basic services and address clients’ unique and complex needs to help them achieve financial independence. We are the galvanizing force that is Fighting poverty. Lifting lives.
