The Queen Anne Helpline is a community based

social service non-profit providing emergency

housing, food and basic needs assistance to

residents who are facing hardship in Queen

Anne, Magnolia and South Lake Union.

I’m extremely proud of our work this past year at the Queen Anne Helpline. We met some aggressive financial goals while maintaining a laser focus on meeting the needs of our clients as effectively and efficiently as possible. With over 75% of our funding coming from individual donors, we take very seriously our responsibility to be accountable to all of you. Central to the good news is we are growing our revenue along with our support base allowing us to increase our impact by serving more people. One critical area of growing demand is housing assistance as rents rise and Seattle faces an affordable housing crisis. As a direct result of our assistance this last year, hundreds of neighbors were able to stay in their homes or move into permanent housing, avoiding homelessness. This assistance is not only the right thing to do but is also a smart use of our dollars because it costs more to provide services once someone is homeless than to keep them in their homes.

In many ways our work today is more important than at any time in our history. As Seattle enjoys an extraordinary economic boom, many are being left behind. For our city to remain compassionate and livable for all of us, the services we provide are a true life-line to growing numbers of our neighbors. Our targeted food programs help prevent hunger for school kids, seniors and others. We afford many others the basic human dignity of having adequate clothing, bedding and hygiene products. The fact that we have been doing this for more than 33 years is tremendous testament to the community we live in. You are critical partners in this work and we are deeply grateful for your support, compassion and generosity.

BASICS

Our service area includes Magnolia + South Lake Union as well as Queen Anne

We work to prevent childhood hunger by providing 343 meals each weekend to local students at risk of food insecurity.

In one client’s words:

You didn’t just pay my

rent. You saved my

life.

Each month we provide an average of $16,000 in financial assistance

In 2014 we helped 75 senior households pay rent or utilities during challenging financial times, helping to ease unnecessary distress. “Thank goodness for you guys. I will have a good Christmas now because my heat will stay on.”

In one recent 6 month period we helped

move 28 households including 43 children out of homelessness and into permanent

housing.
