Food Pantry

The Samaritan Center food pantry is the second largest in Hamilton County. Every year, the Samaritan Center distributes over 45,000 pieces of food to our neighbors in need, totaling approximately $100,000 in aid. We can only do this because of the kindness of our friends in this community. Thank you so much for helping us feed our community.

  • Low sodium soup
