History
Queen Anne Helpline was formed in 1982 when a local grocery store owner noticed barriers to food access. We were founded with the belief that building a strong community requires that we all have the tools we need to reach our full potential. By providing healthy meals, dignified clothing, eviction prevention, and other supportive services, we fortify our collective well being in the Queen Anne, Magnolia, and South Lake Union neighborhoods of Seattle.
