Success Stories
“After living in a rehab facility with my infant son, I was able to get into Samaritan House through Drug Court. I wanted a clean slate before it was too late and Samaritan House gave me that chance. Stable housing allowed me to get a job and develop a routine for me and my son. I learned the importance of budgeting and saving through weekly classes offered to their residents. Their savings policy allowed me to have enough money at the end to put down a deposit and pay first and last month’s rent on a place of our own.”

Considering a Stock Donation!?
Donating stock benefits both of us. You get to avoid paying capital gains on the
donated stock AND deduct the full market value of the donation on your income taxes.
By avoiding capital gains, we get a bigger donation. By growing our investment
account, we are ensuring our program’s longevity and future expansion.
Make a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) from your IRA.
If you are over 70 you may find you have to start making taxable withdrawals from your
IRA. You can donate directly from your IRA to Samaritan house and those withdrawals
will not be taxed or raise your taxable income.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact our financial advisor, Richard
O’Hearn at Edward Jones, (541) 265-2774.
