THANK YOU for your dedication, committment and hard work!!

More than half of our clients are children and the elderly

A statistic to ponder: 45% of our clients are children, 12% are elderly. That means, even if the economy was doing well, nearly 60% of our clients would not be able to “get a job” to improve their socio-economic situation.

Clients relying on our assitance rose by 17% in 2011

Last year we distributed 1,138,502 pounds of food to over 28,000 families, representing over 113,000 individuals. The number of clients relying on our assitance in 2011 increased by 17%; we served nearly 19,000 more individuals this year than last.

Through rain, sleet and snow…

Welcome to Helping Hands Food Bank, a non-profit organization located in Sedro-Woolley, Washington.

Our regular food distribution is from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesdays
(we break for lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.).

Government commodities are distributed on the 1st Wednesday of every month.

Special accomodations can be made for any family or individual that is in need of emergency food (outside of our regular distribution times).

Your monetary or food donations and volunteer assistance are always welcome.

We extend our heart-felt thanks to those who have made our success possible through contributions of time, goods or money. Without your generosity we would not be able to help those who are truly in need in our community.
