Welcome Home Skagit Drop-In Resource Center
We are pleased to announce that we have opened our Drop-In Resource Center on August 1, 2023. It is located at the Salem Lutheran Church, next to the Skagit Valley Family YMCA in Mount Vernon. The center will be available for all adults over 18 from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday.
The Resource Center provides a secure sanctuary from the harshness of winter and the scorching heat of summer, offering a supportive environment to tackle the hardships of unstable housing. Our comprehensive services enable you to access crucial resources, engage in job searches, indulge in creative crafts, connect with fellow individuals, and explore an array of opportunities.

Overnight Safe Parking
Welcome Home Skagit is working with area churches in Mount Vernon and throughout the county by managing a year-round, overnight safe parking program to provide a place for individuals that are living in their vehicles without fear of harassment. We are seeking volunteers to assist with setup, meals, assisting those that need help, cleaning and just being a caring, kind person to those who are without a stable home. Please help support this program by going directly to our Overnight Safe Parking Donations Page to give to this program, or go to our Volunteer Opportunities Page to signup as a volunteer.
We are happy to announce our partnership with Leadership Skagit on the construction of a dedicated "community trailer" that will greatly enhance our services to those who are sleeping in their vehicles beyond our present abilities. Please watch the progresssion of this project throughout 2023.
If you have any questions or want more information please contact our program manager at

We Miss You Mama Bear
We are terribly shocked and extremely saddened to announce the very sudden and unforeseen passing of Cora Dell Steinhauer on the morning of December 2nd, known to many as Mama Bear. She was a member of the Welcome Home Skagit board, as well as the wife of President and Executive Director Curtis R. Steinhauer. She loved everyone she meet and was a major advocate for those who are unhoused or at risk of becoming so. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. If you wish to honor her, please make a donation in her memory. We miss you Mama Bear!
