For nearly 60 years, Helpline House has been here for Bainbridge Island — and now, we’re opening the doors to our NEW Helpline House — designed to better serve our community with food, support, and care for neighbors in need.

Neighbor Helping Neighbor

Now Open at 282 Knechtel Way NE

Need food, housing help, or someone to talk to? Helpline House is now open at our new location — and still here to help. We provide food bank access, housing and utility support, counseling, and resource navigation for Bainbridge Island neighbors. Our food bank is open to any Washington State resident — you do not need to live on Bainbridge Island to access services. Call us or start here — we’ll help you figure out the next step.

How We Help

Services & Support

Whether you need food, financial assistance, counseling, or simply information about resources, we’re here for you.

Food Bank

Groceries and essentials. Walk in during open hours—no appointment needed.

Social Services

Help with housing, utilities, counseling, scholarships and resources.


2025 Community Impact

Real help for people in our community

This is what a circle of giving and receiving looks like. A grocery cart filled. A rent bill covered. A person heard and supported. When neighbors stand with neighbors, everyday crises don’t have to become long-term setbacks.
