SAMARITAN HOUSE

A healing haven for those experiencing homelessness.

THEIR STORY

Samaritan House is Charlotte’s only medical respite, providing short term stays to those facing homelessness upon departing from the hospital system. Providing a bed, clothes, 3 meals a day and transportation to remaining medical appointments is just the beginning to the wonderful support SH provides.

HOW WE’VE HELPED

We’ve worked with Samaritan House to freshen up their website, better tell their story and launch various marketing and PR campaigns to raise funds necessary for their continued operations.

Most recently, we’re pleased to have supported them with a crisis fundraising campaign called “Save Our Home.” We created it, branded it, built internal and external messaging, PR strategy, social and web around it. The outcome? We helped them raise more than $450k (on a goal of $200k) so that they could reopen in July of this year.

We have worked with them in a pro-bono manner to ensure all funds go directly to the incredible service they provide for the community.
