Café celebrates 9 years, December 2022
Designed by Architect Tom Theisen and built by Chad Fisher Construction, our brand new community kitchen opened on December 23, 2013. The new cafeteria is three times the size of the old one. Some of the fantastic new features include: a sheltered waiting area outside, improved hand-washing stations, restrooms and a garden. The kitchen was designed specifically as a teaching kitchen so that our Hunger to Hope Instructor and visiting chefs can perform demonstrations while participants practice techniques on the surrounding prep area.
The building project was made possible by the generosity of hundreds of community members. The Jack & Shirley McIntyre Foundation awarded a matching grant of $300,000. The other $345,000 was donated by generous individuals, businesses, congregations and foundations. McIntyre Foundation Board Members Brian McIntyre and Sarah Hess contributed their time and project management expertise as members of the design team. Special thanks to Friendship House Board Members Al Bird and Roy Martin for their contributions on the design team.

Friendship House Café Generates Solar Power
Friendship House had been awarded a $53,499 grant to install a roof-mounted solar renewable energy system.
The grant was funded through PSE’s Green Power and Solar Choice customers to bring local, community oriented solar projects to PSE’s electric service area while providing vital support to those in need through lower utility bills for our low-income or BIPOC customers and the organizations that serve them.
The first phase of the cost saving project included the installation of the solar panels on the Café roof and next step was connecting to the existing PSE power grid. The long-term benefit of substantially lower power bills for the Café has already proven it's value in all the efforts taken to make this project come together.
Everyone at Friendship House THANKS Puget Sound Energy for the grant funds and Western Solar Inc. for their technical support and timely installation.
Stay tuned on our social media handles and website www.skagitfriendshiphouse.org for more “Green" endeavors as Skagit Friendship House continues to find ways to reduce waste and energy loss throughout our programs.
