Raisin’ Bread Giving Campaign

Thirty-three years ago, Lima’s Samaritan House first opened its doors to 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. Many are not aware of the number of women and children who may be trapped in violent relationships, sleep in abandoned buildings/cars or 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.

Due to the implications of COVID19, our 33rd Anniversary will not be celebrated as it has been in the past. For many years, the Raisin’ Bread Celebration has been our sole fundraiser and a time when we got together with friends, family and donors for an evening of fun. If you were fortunate during this very difficult time and feel that you and/or your business, group, church, club or committee would like to make a contribution, we would be grateful for your support. For this year, the Raisin’ Bread Celebration has become the Raisin’ Bread Giving Campaign.
