My experiences at Rainbow Kitchen have been nothing short of dismal. Not only are the staff…read moreunwelcoming, but the quality of the meals is questionable, with incidents of plastic contamination reported. Furthermore, there appears to be a blatant favoritism, where certain individuals receive preferential treatment, while others are subjected to mistreatment, such as receiving smaller portions and being scolded for taking socks. Additionally, the appalling lack of security measures led to a violent assault on January 26, 2024, where I, recovering from surgery and merely seeking sustenance for my brain-injured wife, was attacked and subsequently banned from the premises for reporting the incident. It's evident that other organizations, such as the Society of St. Vincent De Paul (superb), Esquimalt Neighbourhood House (excellent) and Mustard Seed, (great) provide superior services with better organization and food selection. For those seeking assistance, I strongly advise steering clear of Rainbow Kitchen.

I recently went to Help House in Oak Harbor, and I am impressed with the service there. They have a…read moreproduce section that as I understand it gets daily deliveries. Now is the time to stock up on potatoes! You can go once a month for a bag of food, twice a week for produce, and twice a week for bread and bakery. The bag of food they gave me contained three types of frozen meat, a Haggen's sandwich (not expired), and pizza among many other staples. I really appreciate these folks who really stepped in to help me and my wife in times of financial strain when we cannot buy food. So thank you Help House for being an angel in a time of need.

They provide SO MUCH of the food basics, they help keep families, the disabled/handicapped and seniors from malnutrition and hunger on a regular basis. Local produce is delivered daily. The people are friendly and familiarize themselves with the regulars. This place speaks to the character of the citizens of Oak Harbor in a VERY special way!

The food is pretty good considering it's what most stores are throwing out I know what the people in back sift thru just to get the good stuff that they do. It's hard on them to get stuff that's good when they have lots of bad stuff to go thru and that's not all about of the time supply is the issue. They can't supply people with what they need if they don't receive it as a donation due to what little grants they receive. Helping hands deserves to get more I volunteer 6 days a week 7 to 8 hour days driving delivery and warehouse work. But could not get hired cuz they don't have the money to hire more people. That's why they rely on volunteers but they are hard to come by due to the many hours they are needed and the ton of work they are needed to do. It's a GREAT HELP TO SEDRO-WOOLLEY, MOUNT VERNON, BURLINGTON, AND OTHER LOCAL CITIES HERE IN SKAGIT COUNTIES!!!!! EVEN WITH THE SHORTAGE OF VOLUNTEERS THAT HELP OUT EVERYDAY!!!!
