The Samaritan House is one of Montana's few homeless shelters and the only shelter in Northwest Montana to offer case management services. It provides a transitional housing program and a broad range of services and support to help break the cycle of homelessness. In 2009, Samaritan House served over 1,167 individuals and families, provided almost 25,000 meals and helped 142 homeless veterans with food and shelter. Over 600 homeless people had to be turned away in 2009 because the shelter was full.
Smart Alex is a four-piece band with over 130 years of combined musical performance experience. They play a wide variety of music including classic rock, swing and country.
