We believe all people deserve to thrive
We believe that by treating all people with respect and kindness, we can help them transform their lives into ones of self-sufficiency and abundance.
We provide two clean and sober emergency shelters, one low barrier shelter, one transitional house, one permanent low income shared living house, a daily meal service, an innovative employment training program and many other services to our house-less neighbors.

Sunday, September 4th, the benefit concert was a huge success as we celebrated our achievements in sheltering Skagit residents since 1986.
With your help, we were able to raise $21,885 in Net income to our programs. Event photos coming soon!
Thank you for your attendance and support!
And a special thank you to our Presenting and Entertainment level sponsors for making this day possible~

A special welcome to our new Executive Director, Jonathan Kline
Working in the nonprofit sector with a focus on poverty alleviation for over a decade both domestically and overseas, Jonathan brings a breadth of experience to his role as Executive Director at Friendship House. After leading the Whidbey Homeless Coalition for several years, he joined Skagit Friendship House in the summer of 2022. What he loves most about this type of work is interacting with guests and being able to show them the love and dignity that they deserve. When not at work he can be found hanging out with his family, paddling around the Puget Sound, or hiking through the woods with his two malamutes.
Capital Projects gain traction in 2022
Major capital improvements have begun to transform the environment of our long term, low income housing facility, Barbara's House.
We have tremendous thanks for the City of Mount Vernon, our Mayor and City Council, for assisting us in attaining project funding through the Federal Community Development Block Grant to initiate and carry out these long needed capital repairs.
