Samaritan House is a private nonprofit organization providing services to help meet the essential daily needs of more than 12,000 low-income people within San Mateo County, California. We provide an interim "safety net" for individuals and families in need while ultimately helping them move toward self sufficiency.

With the help of more than 2,000 volunteers, we provide food, clothing, shelter, health care, worker resources, and counseling services, all free of charge to our clients. Samaritan House is a community-supported organization with over 68% of our operating budget coming from private groups and individuals. Please read more about us, our programs, and success stories.
