North Helpline believes that all deserve adequate food, housing and respect. We assist our neighbors in obtaining basic needs that affirm their human dignity and self worth.
Food Security: North Helpline operates two food bank sites. The Food Bank in Lake City distributes food every Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The Food Bank in Bitter Lake opened in July of 2017 and distributes food every Saturday. In the year ended June 30, 2020 there were a total of 33,066 household visits by clients.
Homelessness Prevention: We prevent evictions and utility shut-offs for families each month. In the year ended June 30, 2020 we served 566 clients with Homeless Prevention Services. We also partner with the Tenants Union who helps tenants get the knowledge and skills to keep themselves and their families safely housed.
Client Services and Clinics: The Client Services office staffed by volunteers is our neighbors first contact with North Helpline. This office registers clients for services and offers household items such as toiletries, coats, and laundry detergent. The Community Connector, a part of the Client Services team, enrolls and connects our neighbors in services such as the utility discount program, free cell phone programs, and referrals to other resources. Outside organizations partner with Client Services to table during distribution days at both locations. While tabling partners vary by location and availability, some examples are voter registration, Orca Lift cards, and low-income insurance options. In addition, North Helpline owns a clinic space at our Lake City location. We partner with two organizations to provide services to our community:Valley Cities - provides inpatient and outpatient mental health, substance use disorder treatment, along with support services to individuals; RotaCare - provides free basic healthcare for people without insurance.
