Your donations are critical to help meet our guests’ essential needs.
Of course, it is your financial support that funds our work, but since we provide everything to our clients free of charge, your material donations mean that we can concentrate on our programs and not have to spend time, effort, and money shopping for everyday supplies.
Please drop off these donations Monday-Sunday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the Samaritan House:
1335 Pacific Ave., Long Beach, CA 90813
Thank you for providing these essentials to support local men, women and children during their journey of healing and transformation. By coming alongside the Mission and giving generously, you offer our neighbors food to nourish their bodies, clean clothing and hygiene items to protect their health, educational supplies as they learn valuable life and work skills, and all the other basics they need during their time in our care. Thank you!
