Our vision is a community in which everyone works together to end poverty in Skagit County.
Our mission is to stabilize lives, equip people to meet their goals, and build a stronger, more equitable Skagit County.
We are guided by those we serve in our community. We believe that all of us can change values, beliefs, and policies to create a more equitable community. We recognize that the roots of poverty are embedded in trauma, oppression, and inequity. We support and encourage diverse leadership and representation. We have a lot to learn by listening to people with this lived experience in poverty, homelessness, and inequity based on race and other identities.
Stabilizing Lives
We believe in the strength and potential of people and offer several programs that provide basic needs, from housing to energy assistance.
Equipping Families for Success
We believe in the power of neighbor helping neighbor to help move people beyond a crisis and towards a more self-sustaining life.
Building Stronger Communities
We create a thriving community for all when we work together.
Our Energy Assistance and Senior & Disabled Volunteer Services programs are supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health.
