A Few Things to Know Before You Go:
- You are invited to bring a non-perishable item to place on our new shelves as a “housewarming gift.”
- The Ribbon Cutting ceremony will begin at 1:15, and we’ll open the doors thereafter.
- Sweet treats and lemonade, provided by Fig and Spice, will be served.
- You’ll be able to help with a summer pantry project in the Community Room.
- You can take in a Helpline House “Chopped Challenge” demonstration featuring local Bainbridge Island chefs, creatively preparing food items you would typically find in our Food Bank.
- Upstairs, we’ll have our “Passport to Partners,” where you can learn about the many ways our Social Services team collaborates with various community partners who will be on site. (Get a stamp when you visit each partner, and enter a completed passport for a chance to win a prize…)
- You’ll also find kid-friendly activities like bracelet making and painting upstairs and sidewalk chalk for outdoor creativity, brought to you by our Helpline House Child Mental Healthcare staff.
- Get a commemorative car magnet to show your support of Helpline House.
- The first 400 guests (one per family, please) will receive a limited-edition Helpline House mini tote bag—great for carrying lunches or bringing some items (like condiments, which are always appreciated) back to Helpline House.
It’s going to be a wonderful community celebration! We can’t wait to show you our new home back at our old address at 282 Knechtel Way NE!
THANK YOU, BAINBRIDGE ISLAND!
