Thanks(for)Giving to the Samaritan House

Lima’s Samaritan House has been serving homeless women and their children in Lima and Allen County since 1987. Lima’s Samaritan House is a supportive emergency shelter program designed to help women become self-sufficient. Their on-site services, along with several area social service agencies, assist each individual with housing, along with personal, educational and vocational goals. The members of Altrusa International of Lima, Ohio donated many items that help the agency provide for these women and children. Food, office, cleaning, and other types of supplies were collected and presented to the home as our Thanksgiving service project.
