The Legato Family: Sharing their talents with Samaritas

The Legato family is a testament to the power of family, community, faith, and the enduring spirit of giving.
The Legatos have collectively left an indelible mark through their multifaceted contributions, support, and
ambassadorship. Led by Kristin and Rob, their three children, Dominic, Lucas and Addilyn follow in their
generous, caring footsteps, always putting others first, including the families who Samaritas serves.

Their involvement extends beyond mere financial support. Kristin is an integral member of the Foundation
Board, actively participating in strategic decisions and guiding the organization towards its mission. As Life
Groups Director at Woodside Bible Church, she has led and engaged her church ecosystem in several
ministries at Samaritas from meal donations and holiday parties to grant funding and foster family
recruitment efforts over the past seven years.

And it doesn’t stop there. Their generosity knows no bounds. Rob, Executive Vice President / Executive
Creative Director at McCann Worldgroup has recently lent his immense talents to our brand refresh
initiative celebrating 90 Years of Compassion in Action and launching a new strategic plan. Rob has been
instrumental in the brand refresh, infusing new energy into Samaritas’ identity. This rebranding effort is a
reflection of their commitment to ensuring that the organization remains relevant and resonates with the
community it serves.

The Legato family’s kindness spills over during the
many holidays of the year where they donate and
deliver hundreds of meals, Easter baskets and
Christmas gifts, bringing warmth, nourishment, and
joy to families and individuals in Samaritas’ care.
Their holiday parties are legendary, not just for the
spirit they spread but for the sense of family and
togetherness they foster among all attendees.

The Legatos are the embodiment of Samaritas’
mission, serving as ambassadors who elevate the
organization’s work through their advocacy and
outreach. They are not just donors but true
partners in the quest to transform lives and uplift
spirits.

In essence, the Legato Legacy is more than a story
of philanthropy; it is a narrative of love,
commitment, and the profound impact one family
can have on the lives of many. Their legacy is a
tapestry woven with the threads of compassion, Pictured from left Rob, Lucas, Kristin, Addilyn, and Dominic Legato.
leadership, and unwavering support, setting an
example for others to follow and building a
foundation of hope for future generations.
