Program areas at Helping Hands Food Bank
Weekly Food distribution: Helping Hands distributed nutritious Food to skagit county. In 2023 there were 270,000 visits to the 7 distribution locations of over 2 million pounds of Food. Helping Hands has 300 volunteers that have given 85,000 hours in 2023 to sort produce, deliver groceries to seniors and children, hand out Food at Food distribution and check in client numbers.
Kids backpack program:chow is a program that delivers 5 meals a week to over 800 kids a week to keep them nourished over the weekend. Parents sign themselves up for the program and volunteers deliver the weekly bags.
The solutions program works on getting people from surviving to thriving. They connect participants with resources that are not Food. The example of that is working with seniors to apply for the senior exemption for their property taxes, getting work boots for people to go to work, signed up for classes at goodwills, signed up for snap and they do street outreach activities to the unhoused.
