What we do and how we can help:Â Samaritan House provides Food assistance to low-income families and individuals who reside in northwest Macomb County. We believe by freeing up money that would otherwise be used to purchase food, personal care and cleaning items, those monies could instead be used to help maintain household expense.
Food Pantry: The main purpose of Samaritan House is to provide emergency food for those in need. A pantry food order is designed to feed all members of the household three meals a day for 10-14 days. The food is donated or purchased with donated funds.
Home Delivery Program:  Once a Month Home Delivery of food is offered. This program is open to those in our Service Area who are considered Homebound. Our definition of Homebound is: A situation where a person cannot leave their home independently without assistance. For more information, please give us call. 586-336-9956
Focus Hope:Â Samaritan House is a distribution center for Focus Hope. As such, we deliver Focus Hope food orders to qualified seniors who live in our service area. Seniors can receive assistance from Samaritan House to determine their eligibility and to apply for Focus Hope food assistance through the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
Each client household is given the opportunity to pick up a gift card for the meat of their choice and a box of food specially packed to supply the items needed for a traditional Easter dinner in the spring, and a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in November.Â
Sharing Tree Program:
This program is designed to ensure that every member of each participating household has gifts under their tree on Christmas morning and the makings for a traditional holiday dinner. In October, clients complete their individualized wish list. Tags are created for each individual describing his/her wishes. The tags are then distributed to our sponsoring churches, local businesses, libraries and other organizations. The generous people of our communities select tags and fulfill the wishes.&
