It's a Non-profit and they're doing the best they can with their limited funding, especially in times of federal cuts. Please give to them so they can help the most needy! We make annual donations through our company match to this organization for a reason. They're truly one of the few organizations here doing the most good. I encourage everyone who has elderly or aging parents to explore Hopelink services and donate if they can.

Wish they had more donations of food. The shelves are pretty bare. Lots of expired items.read more

I don't get to volunteer much anymore, I definately had more time in high school and college, but…read morewhen I get a chance, I tend to find places which serve good causes. In Seattle, there are many that fall into that catagory, and this one stands out. Food banks are places which are more important than ever before. There are too many people in unfortuante situations. Either because of some circumstance which is out of their control, or for what ever reason, it becomes necessary to rely of the charity of others. I volunteered here, as part of Seattle Works. Like many food banks I have volunteered at, it's simple, have your energy up, a welcoming smile, and respect. This one serves tons of people, Wednesdays and Saturdays. They have two shifts, one in the morning and afternoon. If you come early, be prepaired to get to packing and sorting. Donations come from local groceries and neighborhood residents. People line up, come in, get food items, and are on their way. Simple. I always say, it's good to give back, and this place is a good way to giving back, even if you don't have money to give; give a little time, it's well worth it. Tip: There is limited parking, some just north of the location, and some 24 hours spots on the street across(south) from the fire station. Don't park at the fire station, they don't really appreciate cars blocking their station. Wear comfortable clothes, and good shoes, you'll be on your feet.

When I have volunteered, it has been on the Saturday morning shift, four long hours! Be prepared to stand for most of the time and for non-stop people coming through. Generally Seniors and the Disabled are in the first round of clients. It is nice that they are able to come through first without being hindered by a large crowd. This food bank generally has a great deal of fresh produce, meat and many donations from Whole Foods and other markets. It feels good passing out items that I know I don't spurge on for myself. I appreciate that the clients at the food bank can turn away items that they do not wish to take. It feels very humane that people are not put in a position that they must eat anything given to them just because they are in need. If you have some volunteer time, keep North Helpline in Lake City in mind! northhelpline.org
