We are more than a food bank; we are a solution center. The Helping Hands Solutions Staff can offer support and assistance to issues that contribute to an individual or family experiencing food insecurity, including unemployment, homelessness, and more.

As a non-profit organization, we partner with local food providers and community organizations to provide the best services possible, making a positive difference for local families and our community. It is all possible because of our generous community support.

The Vision of Helping Hands Food Bank is to address the inequity of the food bank experience and ensure every citizen has access to high-quality food and resources to help them thrive. 

We are Skagit County’s largest direct food provider. In 2024 we brought in over 1.9 million lbs. of food through donations and programs like grocery rescue.

Helping Hands is open four days a week at our distribution site and offices in Sedro-Woolley. We also have 6 different distribution sites across Skagit County (Anacortes, Burlington, Hamilton, Marblemount, and Swinomish) to offer easier access to more of our neighbors in need. We require no prequalification to access our resources.
