Samaritan House & Nuts For Candy & Toys
Nuts For Candy & Toys, a toy and candy shop located at 1241 Broadway in Burlingame, has partnered with The Samaritan House in San Mateo. Needoh Squishy Toys, currently one of the most sought-after toys in the United States, have become the centerpiece of a community give-back initiative. When customers purchase a Needoh for their own child, they are also choosing to purchase an extra one to donate to The Samaritan House. From left, is Inessa Shishmanyan, Samaritan House CFO/CIO; Jenny Knopf, vice president of Volunteer Engagement; John Kevranian; Laura Bent, CEO; and Alec Raffin, COO.
