FOOD BANK

Beyond groceries, the food bank offers access to free and confidential support for financial and mental health needs. Shopping here can help you prioritize essential expenses like rent or utilities. No one has to face a crisis alone—professional help is available.

Social services are offered by appointment with a case manager or counselor. For referrals and resources, call 206.842.7621.

NEW temporary location:  901 Hildebrand Lane NE.

Everyone is welcome to visit the community food bank, Tuesday–Friday, 10 AM–4 PM.

A professional volunteer will greet you and guide you through a brief registration, which includes basic information like your name, address, and birthdate, along with a few optional questions. Your privacy is very important to us, and any demographic details collected are used solely to help our partner organizations better understand the communities we serve.

We’ve Moved—Just Around the Corner!

Helpline House is now temporarily located at 901 Hildebrand Lane, near the north end of Ericksen Avenue, for approximately 12 months during the construction of our new facility. Thanks to a lease partnership with Clark Construction and the support of our board and volunteer Michael Wright, we continue to offer uninterrupted services to the community.

“As we transition to our new space, we remain deeply committed to serving Bainbridge Island with care and compassion,” said Maria Metzler, Executive Director. “We’re excited about what’s ahead and grateful to stay connected during this time of growth.”

Closed: Christmas, New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving weekend.
