Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Helping Hands Food Bank and Solutions Center addresses food and non-food life essentials insecurity, as well as the barriers that contribute to that insecurity. Through empowering solutions, Helping Hands' DSHS trained staff assist participants with additional services related to housing, health, and resource navigation.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
C.H.O.W. (Cutting Hunger On Weekends)
C.H.O.W. (Cutting Hunger On Weekends/Backpack Program)
Over 10,000 kids in Skagit County are on the free and reduced lunch program. Thanks to the amazing support of our donors, we are able to provide food to over 1,200 kids each week in the Sedro-Woolley and Mount Vernon School Districts. Additional support for this program is through Helping Hands partnership with Skagit Publishing, allowing these bags to be delivered discretely to students along newspaper routes.
Grocery Rescue
We rescue food daily from local grocery stores, farmers, warehouses, and manufacturers, sort through it and redistribute it to our participants. If what is recovered wouldn’t go on our tables, it doesn’t go to our participants. Quality is essential to us!
Mobile Food
We deliver supplemental food boxes weekly to immunocompromised participants who have medical concerns or are homebound. This program doesn’t preclude them from receiving support through other organizations or programs they are eligible for.
Non-Food Life Essentials
Each participant who visits the food bank needs food, generally worries about paying a bill. By providing non-food life essentials, we mitigate the stress of spending money on items that would better serve the participant by going to pay bills.
We provide:
Toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, hair supplies, body soap/washes, etc.
**This program is currently NOT covered by any government programs**
Solutions
Our Solutions Program helps our participants navigate their unique challenges outside of food insecurity. With volunteers acting as Navigators, our participants have someone to walk pathways to thriving, providing support along the way.
We assist with the following:
- Insurance Applications (State/Federal)
- Fuel Assitance (to help get them to and from work)
- VA Benefits
- Street Outreach
- Notary
- an other individual needs

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
