The website link allows individuals to sign up online and complete any paperwork, screening tools, etc. prior to clinic.  This will speed up their registration process quite a bit. 

Registering online will still allow individuals to stop by anytime between the clinic hours of 12pm-2pm.  It won’t give them a specific time slot. 

Kitsap Public Health District will also have paper-copies of registration forms on site that can be utilized by anyone on the day-of clinic if they would like to get a vaccine.

On Friday, July 15^th, Fishline’s annual Summer Escape fundraiser brought more than 160 guests together to celebrate and raise vital funds for our communities most vulnerable neighbors in need.

Located in the beautiful Heronswood Gardens, this instrumental fundraiser was raised more than $177,000 in funds to help our community. The raise the paddle portion brought in $51,000, which is the most ever raised during this segment of the program!

“Not only is this Fishline’s main fundraiser of the year, but it is also a truly fun community event. The pandemic has taken a terrible toll on the residents of North Kitsap. In June, we had 170 new individuals sign up for services and in the past quarter, we’ve had over 400 new families register for food and other critical assistance,” Said Jagoda Perich-Anderson, Fund Development and Event Chair.

We are proud to share with the community that 95 cents of every dollar raised, goes directly to programs and services. These funds will be used to ensure that children will have access to birthday and Christmas gifts, school supplies, weekend meals, and free clothing. It also supports clients who need access to transportation, rent and utilities assistance, safe overnight parking, and of course our food bank and pantry which are stocked with fresh produce and healthy eating options daily.

“Fishline is incredibly grateful to the North Kitsap community for their continued support and passion for helping others find a path to self-sustainability.”

“We owe a special thank you to our Board, staff and volunteers for planning and executing this successful event! We are also grateful for the support of donors, and sponsors, including our media partners, the Kitsap Sun, and Sound Publishing”. Said Lori Maxim, Executive Director of Fishline.

Located in beautiful Heronswood Gardens, the evening will include live music, food, wine, games, an auction, and a raffle. This year’s event promises to be even more fun! Enjoy strolling the gardens, sipping a beverage, bidding on a special experience or item, and help raise money to support those in need at Kitsap County. We have some wonderful items we are auctioning off this year, including Circus School, a home rental in Scottsdale, AZ, a 65-inch flatscreen 4k tv, electronic bikes, and so much more!
