Samaritan House Gets a Facelift

Cassidy Arend, Miss Teen Dallas County, spruces up the grounds

Samaritan House benefited from a recent beautification project, complete with a new garden and park benches, thanks to Miss Teen Dallas County 2005 Cassidy Arend.

In only one week, the 15-year-old Keller High School sophomore single-handedly secured a truckload of supplies and plants donated from Home Depot in Keller, The Flower Ranch in Keller, and The Plant Shed in Benbrook. Arend was accompanied on March 12th at Samaritan House by Jason Ware, Executive Director of the Miss Dallas County Scholarship Organization, Kelly Schulz, Associate Director, and Brook Webster, Miss Dallas County 2005.

Last month, Cassidy was recognized during the Miss Teen Dallas County Scholarship Pageant’s community service project that collected 450 towels for Samaritan House. Cassidy alone collected over 250 towels that were donated to residents of Samaritan House. She will compete for the title of Miss Teen Texas in Fort Worth in July.

Thanks to the Home Depot, The Flower Ranch, and The Plant Shed for their genorosity, and to the Miss Teen Dallas County Scholarship Pageant for their support and service to Samaritan House.
