Samaritan House is one of Montana's few homeless shelters. It provides a Transitional Housing program with Case Management services, a kitchen and cafeteria and a broad range of services and supports to help break the cycle of homelessness. In 2010, Samaritan House served over 1,180 local homeless people and provided more than 26,000 meals in the cafeteria.
Smart Alex is a four-piece band with over 134 years of combined musical performance experience. They play a wide variety of music including classic rock, swing and country.
Terry Hill, a long time friend of Samaritan House and well known musician of the Flathead Valley will be the featured artist in this month's fourth friday concert series.
