Sarah Higginbotham, the Executive Director and one of the founders of North Snohomish County Outreach (NSCO), gave us a follow-up program to one she did sometime ago.  Back then the group was primarily providing funds for homeless in the north end of the county (Smokey Point & Arlington) to wash their clothes at laundry mats with the benefit of a hot meal while laundry was being done.  As Sarah pointed out with her slides, the organization has branched out.  All activities are in support of the mission to build relationships with those experiencing poverty, while meeting basic human needs through charitable outreach.  It started as a church outreach but soon it was recognized that the needs are greater than a single church could meet.  

 

The pandemic has resulted in some changes, hopefully on a short term.  Hot meals have been replaced with bagged meals and are available only at Arlington location.  Showers have been curtailed. See if you recognize one of our members serving food!
