The kind Service people who u ask for help are very kind and answer my questions. If they don't…read moreknow the answer they will find someone else who does. The food is pretty good considering it's what most stores are throwing out I know what the people in back sift thru just to get the good stuff that they do. It's hard on them to get stuff that's good when they have lots of bad stuff to go thru and that's not all about of the time supply is the issue. They can't supply people with what they need if they don't receive it as a donation due to what little grants they receive. Helping hands deserves to get more I volunteer 6 days a week 7 to 8 hour days driving delivery and warehouse work. But could not get hired cuz they don't have the money to hire more people. That's why they rely on volunteers but they are hard to come by due to the many hours they are needed and the ton of work they are needed to do. It's a GREAT HELP TO SEDRO-WOOLLEY, MOUNT VERNON, BURLINGTON, AND OTHER LOCAL CITIES HERE IN SKAGIT COUNTIES!!!!! EVEN WITH THE SHORTAGE OF VOLUNTEERS THAT HELP OUT EVERYDAY!!!! If you need other things such as information on where to get a shower or where as a runaway teen can go or a shelter church that takes in families. Things that as a community we need at times of hardship Helping Hands Food Bank is the place to go for food!!!!! First!!!!!

We would repackage grains, diapers, bagels, coffee, beans, etc. As well as sort cans and cereals into bins. It's a small place, but John seems to keep things running smoothly. They always seem to be overflowing with help and food around the holidays but slips from people's minds during the summer. It's disheartening to see the shelves get so bare. There are plenty of areas to volunteer, but parking is scarce. They offer a wide variety of foods to their patrons, sometimes including frozen meats and fresh produce. There is also a clothing bank run by Theresa in the other half of the building that we've donated to.

They had a lot of workers, and they were all smiles and very compassionate. I remember that they used to get good produce from local farms when it was in season.

Upon my arrival, there were several seniors leaving what was obviously some sort of gathering. Two women who seemed to work at the center were busy talking to a young child and completely ignored me when I came in with a new walker and box of medical supplies. Finally one of them said "just leave it there", which I did. I went back to my car and got the box with a shower chair in it and the same woman informed me they were not allowed to take shower items due to insurance reasons. Neither woman ever acted appreciative or thanked me for the donations or indicated being sorry for not being able to take the shower chair. Had I known what kind of reception I would get, I would have made my life easier by dropping everything at the Goodwill. If you want a senior center that's warm and welcoming, go somewhere else.
