Common Questions
One of our key focuses is on outpatient behavioral health, and we work to provide all of our clients with the community- or home-based counseling, treatment, and services they need to achieve stability. We offer many other programs, including a food bank & distribution service, eviction and housing support, abuse victim protection services, and more.
Our focus is in and around the Greater Puget Sound area. We cater to everyone, with a focus on communities that have been disproportionately affected by issues and historically overlooked. Many of our programs are designed to be available to any of our neighbors who may be in need or facing mental health challenges without a support system.
Our behavioral health, Black Crime Victim Services, and Skagit County Eviction Prevention programs each have unique contact processes. For all other requests, please call our office at 425-760-8306 or visit us at 1314 26th St. Everett, WA.
There are two main ways to support the work of Helping Hands. The first is through volunteering, specifically with our food distribution and housing insecurity programs. The second is through donating monthly; by supporting Helping Hands with just $25/month, you can help us give a local family $300 via food voucher, helping them access nutritious and culturally appropriate food from a local African grocery store.
