H.I.P's Vision
To collaborate with community partners to end hunger in Seattle.
H.I.P's Mission
Hunger Intervention Program (HIP) provides nutritional meals and basic cooking skills to the homeless and hungry of Seattle, while focusing on empowering those served. HIP's service is offered in a dignity preserving fashion where clients' cultures are celebrated and respected.
H.I.P.'s Service
- Weekly Bagged Lunch: This service targets the homeless, low income, and no income individuals and families in the community. Bagged lunches focus on healthy and hearty sandwiches, a fruit, and a salad or green vegetable.
- Sandwiches three times a week for North Helpline's Emergency Services: Individuals and families needing emergency assistance are able to receive a HIP sandwich at North Helpline every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
- Community Kitchen: This Program targets chronically homeless adults who have recently moved into supportive housing and works toward empowering them by offering cooking and nutrition education and promoting a sense of community where participants cook together and dine together.
