Project Happy Holidays

Many different holidays are celebrated during the dark days of winter by a variety of cultures. Helpline is pleased to be the place on Bainbridge Island where the community can help celebrate its abundance by delivering new toys and gift items for those less fortunate to select for their family members.

When funds are tight, holidays seem out of reach and an unlikely luxury. With the community's generosity, parents without resources find toys for their children, and grandparents can find things for their teenage grandchildren at our Holiday House.

Whether is it Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa, and whether we are able to donate, or find ourselves receiving, we are all able to share in the spirit of the season by making Helpline House part of our own holiday tradition.

Check back in December 2010 for information on our Holiday Shoppe.

If your household or one of your neighbors is in need of assistance, confidential help is available at HELPLINE HOUSE. Please visit our office Monday - Friday from 9am to 5pm or call us at 206-842-7621.
