Grateful to Samaritan Daytop Health for helping bring joy to nearly 40 individuals staying at our shelters and family residences. Following routine health appointments, they received discount coupons and traded them for valuable gifts at the Winter Wonderland event in the Bronx. Moments like these can make a lasting difference for so many. Thankful for your partnership!

To all our friends, family, and supporters, Samaritan Daytop Village wishes you a happy, healthy, and ! ✨

Santa Claus maybe coming to town, but the Grinch is already here!

The Grinch sneaked into our Boulevard Family Residence to give away holiday gifts and decorations to families in the Queens-based program.

"Grinchmas" - and the cuteness overload! - would not have been made possible without the donations gathered by Boulevard's Recreation team, led by Recreation Coordinator Jamel McKithen.

Working towards recovery from addiction can be especially difficult during the holidays - particularly for women with young children. But at our Young Mothers Program (YMP) in Manhattan, women can work toward a place of health and healing with their young children by their side.

Children from newborns to age 4 can live at the program with their moms, ensuring the bond between mother and child is preserved and strengthened during the treatment process.

Recently, the nonprofit Giving Friends visited YMP with gifts in hand to host a holiday party for the families. The celebration included a visit from Santa Claus, as well as Giving Friends Founder and YMP graduate Lynne Corry. Lynne is a powerful role model for the mothers - and living proof that recovery is possible.

The beloved annual event was made even more special for two clients - one who was recently reunited with her 3-year-old and 6-month-old children, and another who spent the afternoon celebrating with her visiting 11-year-old son.

Thank you to Giving Friends, their volunteers, and donors for your compassion and generosity to these healing families. It would not be the holidays at YMP without you!

For referrals, call the program directly at 212-222-5285 or email referrals@samaritanvillage.org.
