Mission: Since 1974, Samaritan House has been leading the fight against poverty in San Mateo County. We are the only organization that delivers the full breadth of essential services and personalized support to the working poor. By ensuring our clients are fed, clothed, healthy and housed, we help them create their own stability and remain an active, successful part of our community. After all, an enduring community is only possible when every person has the resources they need to live. That's why Samaritan House brings together individuals, companies, schools, faith-based and other organizations to provide free services that empower our neighbors.
