LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Lima's Samaritan House celebrated their 36th anniversary while raising money to continue their mission Wednesday night.
Two Allen County non-profits will continue to receive funding from the state to address homelessness. Lima Samaritan House and the West Ohio Community Action Partnership will be receiving funding from the Homeless Crisis Response Program. Lima Samaritan House will receive $342,200 and the West Ohio Community Action Partnership will receive $570,100.
Samaritan House hosted its Raisin' Bread event, a fundraiser that organizers say will truly benefit women in need. Live music from Aces Wild and an auction were just some of the things that the annual event offered this year. This is their biggest year yet with over 250 attendees. The event is put on every year through a partnership between Panera Bread and Samaritan House. This fundraiser significantly helps with operational costs.
