Due to limited funding we rely heavily on the generosity of the public to help supply us with the following much needed food and disposable items. Items in Bold type are needed the most. We have included links for some specific items that we have found to work best in the shelter. Items can be dropped off at the Samaritan House located at 328 W. McKibben St.
