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 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.  We also provide management and operation services to the Skagit First Step Center in Burlington, a low-barrier shelter.
