The mission of the Queen Anne Helpline is to help our neighbors in times of need by providing a wide range of goods and services.
Description:
The Queen Ann Helpline provides financial assistance for people in the 98109 & 98119 zip codes for rent, utilities & basic needs. We also provide continuing education funds for single parents and tutoring for schools in those zip codes. For anyone in the Seattle area, we provide emergency food bags, disabled bus passes, bus tickets for work & medical appointments, ID and shelter vouchers for a local shelter. We operate a free clothing bank, food shelves and toiletries to anyone who makes an appointment. We are currently co-ordinating our Thanksgiving & Christmas meal gift cards, Giving Tree and Adopt-A-Family program.
History:
Queen Anne Helpline was started 25 years ago by a small group of local businessmen, a state Senator and pastors. It was and is a totally privately funded agency, receiving no city, state or federal funding. It began with a single volunteer who became the first director. We now have 2 part-time employees, 10 volunteers who staff our phones and work with clients, 5-6 work study students, and volunteers who work on special events like our gala & auction, Fun Run, and holiday tree lot.
