“Catholic Charities Samaritan House Homeless Shelter has been operating at capacity,” said Geoff Bennett, Vice President of Shelter and Community Outreach.  “Lou does a tremendous job of giving ‘voice’ to the men, women, and children who call Samaritan House ‘home.’  I cannot thank him enough for his work on the radio-a-thon each year.  Last year we raised nearly $300,000 – enough to cover 1 month of costs for the shelter!”

Samaritan House opened in 1986 as the first building in America designed specifically as a homeless shelter for men, women, and families with children.  The facility operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing a safe place to call “home” for up to 388 men, women, and children every night.
