"A Legacy of Hope" Fundraiser

You made it happen! “A Legacy of Hope”, fundraiser was a huge success. “Because of the support of the friends of USF and the hard work of Marie Assali, Michele Proffitt, Barbara Bawanan and Holly Cole, USF’s Seventh Annual Fundraiser exceeded all of our goals”, said President of the Board John Rogers. Marie Assali
and her committee raised over $100,000 for the United Samaritans Food Programs. We could not have done this without our Event Sponsors, table sponsors and our volunteers. A special Thank You to the CSUS Office of Service Learning and student volunteers, your help was invaluable, and we couldn’t have done it without you. A big Thank You goes out to all of the Oral Auction Winners. You helped make this year's fundraiser a great success. The committee has already scheduled the date for next year’s event,
November 17, 2012. For more information, visit our Events Page.

Making A Difference

No one should have to go hungry. No parent should have to choose between food and housing for their children. No senior citizen or disabled person should have to choose between food and medicine. Yet in Stanislaus County where the unemployment rate is 17.5%, significantly higher than the national average of 9.1%, too many residents are forced to choose. Your continued support is more important than ever to the operation of United Samaritans Foundation. Every donation is vital to our program. In the current economic environment more people are facing financial uncertainty and we expect to see an increased need for the services we provide. In 2010 your donations helped to served 362,151 lunches thru our Daily Bread Lunch Program. Our Emergency Food Box Program provided 3,197 food boxes to families.

In October 2011:

Daily Bread Lunch Program: 30,272 served.

Emergency Food Boxes: 286 families (590 people) were provided with three meals a day for three days, equaling 5,310 meals.

WE ARE ACCEPTING CHRISTMAS GIFTS:

Please be careful to select toys without lead paint when choosing toys to donate. Toys are being given to children who are not eligible for the Turlock Together Christmas Program. Consider gift certificates for the children ages 11 thru 18.
