Agency - Queen Anne Helpline

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, bus tickets for work & medical appointments. We operate a free clothing bank, food shelves and toiletries to anyone who makes an appointment. Our next program will be the "Crown of Queen Anne" Fun run/walk, July 9, 2011. Help is always needed for the crossing guards.

History:
Queen Anne Helpline was started 28 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 few volunteers.who answered the phone and took information. One of the original volunteers became the Director and we now have 10 volunteers who staff our phones and work with clients, 5 work study students from Seattle Pacific University and many volunteers who work on special events like our gala , Fun Run, and holiday tree lot.
