The Queen Anne Helpline opened its office in May 1982, after many community meetings with businessmen, Pastors and community leaders who determined the necessity for community Social Service organization.

All Queen Anne residents, businesses and churches are considered members of the Queen Anne Helpline. We have 15 Board of Directors who are responsible for the overall operation of the HelpLine. The Board is specifically responsible for making periodic reviews of the fiscal reports and an annual review of the bylaws. These directors must be willing and able to devote the time required for board meetings and organizational activities, and available to represent Helpline in related community activities.

Helpline has two part-time salaried personnel: a Director and Assistant, who are responsible for day to day operation of the office. They are responsible for determining the disbursements to clients, fund-raising coordination with other agencies, assuring the office is staffed daily with VOLUNTEERS. They also supervise work-study students from Seattle Pacific University (SPU) and other volunteers as needed.

Helpline staff and volunteers communicate with other agencies in order to serve the clients as fully as possible. We refer callers living outside of the Queen Anne area to appropriate food banks, funding sources. The clothing bank is available to anyone living within the Seattle City limits.
