Mission

Rent and Utility Assistance: We keep West Seattle and White Center residents safely housed through short-term funding for rent, deposits, and utilities. Bus Tickets: We get our neighbors where they need to go with one-month booklets of bus tickets. The Clothesline: We run the largest all-ages clothing bank in the Seattle metropolitan area. Every three months, our neighbors can pick up clothing for children and adults, including shoes, coats, and professional attire. The Hotline: We connect our neighbors to local, vetted resources for employment, housing, healthcare, and more.
