MISSION STATEMENT
To provide assistance to those in need in our community
in an impartial and dignified manner.
We will provide
emergency/supplemental food, and assistance through the North Whidbey Medical Help program, and health and welfare checkups via our tele-care program.
We will work
with other human services agencies in our community to ensure that we are prepared to offer the best assistance possible and assist wherever possible in not only improving lifestyles, but striving towards independence from the need for assistance.
We shall keep
the client first and foremost in all our
actions, ensuring confidentiality and dignity punctuate all we do.

Now that the dust has settled, here are the numbers for 2022:
# of food boxes - 4,991
# fed with those boxes - 10,445
Homeless served - 958
# of people benefitting from our bakery and produce - 30,127 (which is donated by NAS Commissary, Haggen, Safeway, Grocery Outlet, Whidbey Coffee (both locations), Starbucks (both locations), Honeymoon Bay, and from those that bring in vegetables from private gardens and fruit picked from their trees)
We were also able to assist 39 people with dental and prescription assistance with our North Whidbey Medical Help fund.
Help House could not continue with our mission of helping those in need without the generosity of this wonderful community. Thank you all for your support for the last 45+ years.
Thank you to all who have used our PayPal link to make donations. I would just like to make everyone aware that if you have a g-mail account we are not able to send a "thank you" via e-mail. For whatever reason, we are unable to send e-mails to those accounts. If you need a receipt for the donation, please contact us at 360-675-0681 and I can mail one to you.
Thank you again for your generosity, and may you all have a happy, healthy 2023.
