Helping Hand’s Mission is to nourish our community with kindness and respect without judgment. Helping Hand’s Vision is to address the inequity of food bank experiences in Skagit County and make sure every citizen has access to high-quality food resources. We are making a positive difference for local families, and our community as a whole. Helping Hands is more than a food bank – we are a solution center. Helping Hands has a DSHS trained person on staff that can help participants sign up for much-needed assistance, as well as offer Job Training and Internships. Helping Hands also participates in Grocery Rescue six days a week, eliminating approximately 22 carbon footprints each month. Helping Hands Solution Center also offers community resource classes and seminars ranging from job training to nutrition.
