Skagit Friendship House Increases Services to Help Skagit Residents off the Street
In 1986, The Skagit Friendship House began with a simple belief: that compassion and community can transform lives. This year, Friendship House is celebrating its 40th anniversary and the legacy of service it has provided to the community. “We started with one shelter, and since then we’ve grown to two main campus shelters, three traditional homes, and a cafe, and we also manage the First Step Center in Burlington,” shares Executive Director Jason Wells.
As with any organization looking to make positive change at the grass-roots level, Friendship House is happy to welcome support from major partners like Bank of the Pacific, as well as members of the community. Beyond cash donations, the variety of programs they offer means that Friendship House is on the lookout for a variety of gifts.
