Helpline Services
It takes just one lost job, a medical crisis, a few missed payments, and people lose their grip on the lowest rung of the ladder to the middle class.
Since 1989 the Helpline has been offering financial aid and referral advice that can save residents from homelessness, hopelessness, and hunger.
The West Seattle Helpline is funded by many individuals, businesses, and churches within the West Seattle Community. The agency has only one paid employee and is staffed primarily by a corps of volunteers who care about the needs of their neighbors.

Fine clothing is available for all ages, from infants to adults. There is never a charge for the clothing and each individual can receive up to 4 complete outfits each.
