The Celebration is SOLD OUT.
We are still accepting donations and sponsorships for those who would like to support Samaritan House, but unfortunately we are at capacity and do not have any more tickets available for those wishing to attend the event. Thanks so much to the community for your support. We are looking forward to celebrating together!
Lima’s Samaritan House first opened its doors in 1987 to serve homeless and/or abused women and children. Since that time, we have provided shelter, hope and guidance to literally thousands who otherwise had no safe place to go. We do this by meeting their basic needs for food, clothing and shelter, along with intensive case management to help identify and overcome barriers that have kept them from permanent housing. Many are not aware of the number of women and children who may be trapped in violent relationships, sleep in abandoned buildings/cars or are forced to walk the streets. Samaritan House is a safe haven where so many have found the strength to overcome and the courage to prevail. We believe this is reason for celebration! In August, we commemorate our anniversary. We are dedicated to our service, but without the generosity of our friends in the community, we would not exist.
Our annual Raisin’ Bread Anniversary Celebration will take place on August 10, 2022 at the Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center. This event will kick start our month long Giving Campaign as we celebrate 35 years of providing services to homeless women and children in our area. For many years, our Anniversary Celebration has been our sole fundraiser and a time to get together with friends, family and donors for an evening of fun. The past couple of years we have missed connecting with our friends and supporters in the community and are excited to host this in person celebration for our 35th Anniversary. The proceeds from our Anniversary Celebration and Giving Campaign help to offset the operating expenses of running a three-story, thirty-eight room shelter. The Celebration includes appetizers, dueling pianos for entertainment, and a silent auction. We hope that you can join us for our event but understand that some may not be comfortable or able. If you and/or your business, group, church, club or committee would like to make a contribution to the Anniversary Celebration or Giving Campaign, we would be grateful for your partnership.
We thank you for your continued prayers, support and encouragement and hope to see you at our Anniversary Celebration.
