Samaritan House

For the security guard sleeping in his car. Or the teacher whose emergency room visit put her a month behind on rent. Or the mom working three jobs to make sure her kids have food and clothes. For all who are struggling to make ends meet, Samaritan House is here to help. For over 50 years, Samaritan House has been leading the fight against poverty in San Mateo County. We are the only organization that delivers essential services and personalized support to connect the people living in poverty among us to the full range of resources and services they need. More than just ensuring our clients are fed, clothed, healthy, and housed, we help them create their own stability and remain an active, successful part of the community. Over recent years, more and more families in San Mateo County have been thrust into poverty. From the COVID-19 pandemic, to increasing wealth inequality, to the impacts of inflation and the housing crisis, the financial pressures on our neighbors have grown. Through it all, Samaritan House has been here to help – keeping pace with the demand and opening up new possibilities for people living in poverty. Though the road ahead is uncertain, we remain steadfast to our commitment to helping over 32,000 of our neighbors living in poverty every year. With each action, each conversation, and each new program we develop, we are Fighting poverty. Lifting lives.

A California cuisine restaurant with mediterranean leaning.

Amara

Amara is where the Mediterranean comes to play! A sun-soaked garden, bold flavors, and a vibe that pulls you in and keeps you there. By day, it’s the place for long, lazy brunches and families sharing plates in the shade. By night, the energy shifts, cocktails flow, music hums, and the garden feels like a secret you’re lucky to know. Every dish is crafted from peak-season ingredients, inspired by coastlines and cultures where life moves a little slower and tastes a little better. One visit won’t be enough and that’s exactly how we like it. Our Philosophy Food &amp; Drink At Amara, the food and drink share the same philosophy start with the best ingredients and let them shine. We work with local farms and the weekly farmers market to source peak-season produce, ensuring every plate is as fresh, vibrant, and nourishing as it is delicious. Cocktails follow the same principle, mixed with market-fresh herbs, citrus, and spices into creations that feel inventive yet effortless. It’s quality without pretension, made for people who truly care about what’s on their plate and in their glass. Space Amara is designed to transport a sunlit garden, airy interiors, and cozy corners are perfect for lingering. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rugged coastlines and warm hospitality, our space blends natural textures, lush greenery, and flowing water to create an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. It’s where you can sink in, slow down, and feel like you’ve stepped into another world. Events at Amara From long, lazy brunches to lively Thursday DJ nights, Amara offers experiences as dynamic as its setting. Our garden and private spaces host everything from intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, while seasonal events like Diwali dinners or chef’s table tastings make every visit feel unique. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine at golden hour or a full evening under the stars, there’s always something to draw you back. Check Happenings to see current

🍷 WINE, LIVE MUSIC, AND FOOD IN THE WINE GARDEN
Start your weekend at the AutoVino Wine Garden with live music by Chris Bigford, estate-grown wines from Woodside Vineyards, and food served from AutoVino’s restored 1955 Flxible diner bus.
Enjoy the evening under the shade sails with a glass of wine, a table of food, and live music in the garden.
🎶 LIVE MUSIC BY CHRIS BIGFORD
Chris Bigford brings live country music to the Wine Garden this Friday, performing with guitar in hand during Friday Night Happy Hour. His set gives the evening a clear country feel and adds a classic live music presence to the outdoor Wine Garden setting.
🍕 PIZZA AND WINGS FROM THE FLXIBLE DINER BUS
Inside AutoVino’s restored 195 Flxible diner bus, Nate makes hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas with 48-hour-fermented dough. The result is pizza with crisp edges, a tender center, and fresh-from-the-oven character.
The Happy Hour menu also includes wings, served hot from the bus and made for sharing at the table.
🧀 INGE’S CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
Inge’s boards feature salami, prosciutto, brie, cheddar, olives, nuts, crackers, bread, and sweet jellies. They can be customized for small or large groups and pair well with Woodside Vineyards wines such as Kings Mountain Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir.
