Material Good Donations

We are now accepting all material goods donations at Second Season Boutique at our box truck in the Poulsbo Village shopping center. Click here for a list of items that we accept/don’t accept. We accept donations Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, unless otherwise posted on our Facebook pagePlease note that this is subject to change based on space.

Donation Sites

You can support Fishline by dropping off food donations at our main campus or in our collection barrels around town.

We also accept fresh produce donations from home gardens and farms and ask that you adhere to the safety guidelines located here.

Become a Neighborhood Coordinator

As an Neighborhood Coordinator (NC) of theFOODproject, you’ll rally 5–10 neighbors to fill green bags with nonperishable food every two months. Then, you simply collect the bags and deliver them to Fishline every other month. That’s it—just six food drives a year can bring in over $3,000 worth of food to support local families.

Host a Fundraiser

Monetary donations are the most effective way you can help Fishline. Because of our buying power, we can turn $1 into $5 worth of food for our clients. Hosting a fundraiser is energizing, creative and a great way to draw community together. Put your idea hat on, talk with your friends or co-workers, and the sky’s the limit on ways you can turn fun into help for those in need.

Buy Local, Give Local

We are inviting local businesses to team up with Fishline to make giving back easy and meaningful. Some ideas to consider:

  • Rounding up purchases at checkout,
  • Donating a portion of sales from a featured item,
  • Hosting a food drive, or
  • Offering a “give-back” day where proceeds benefit Fishline,

We’d love to partner with your business in a way that’s tailored to you and your customers. Let’s work together to create something meaningful for our community!

Sponsor-a-Shelf

By sponsoring a shelf in our market, you directly contribute to the consistent availability of essential goods. Your generous support ensures that a specific item (pet food, menstrual products, diapers, etc.) which aligns with your business’s passion, remains well-stocked throughout the year, fulfilling a vital need in our community. This 12-month sponsorship is customized to highlight your business, providing brand recognition and prominently displaying your logo on the shelf.

Donor-Directed Funding

If there is a particular area you wish to help with, or you have a heart for a program or service and wish to donate to it directly, you can donate to our Donor-Directed Funding. You can choose the client need you wish to address with your support and learn from us exactly how your money was invested in transforming local lives. Please contact our Development Manager at development@fishlinehelps.org to learn more about this individualized approach to your giving plans.

Fishline is registered a 501(c)3 non profit organization.

All money, material, and food donations are eligible for tax deductible donation receipts upon request. Your donations help feed, clothe, and empower individuals to reach their full potential by providing a path toward sustainability.

Liability Protection for Donors

​Both State and Federals laws protect donors from liability. In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed Law 104-210, the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, to encourage donations of food and grocery products to non-profit organizations for distribution to needy individuals. The law protects donors from civil and criminal liability should a fit and wholesome product donated in good faith later causes harm to a recipient.
