Every year Washington State Department of Agriculture allots a certain amount of money to each food bank in the state and requires a match in purchases and donations. The donation of hours by Fishline volunteers ensures that we do not have to purchase additional items to receive those funds. Their hours alone make up the match!
We are so thankful for our volunteers and their time and commitment to our mission. Last week we were able to celebrate them during our summer volunteer picnic with food, games and prizes. It's always a good time when we get together. Thank you to all the volunteers and board members who were able to attend and celebrate!

Our Story
Fishline’s mission is to serve people in need by providing food and emergency services.
Fishline’s ultimate goal is to help create a community where a ‘safety net’ exists for all people, which includes adequate food, shelter, healthcare and employment.
Fishline is committed to: treating all people with dignity and respect, working collaboratively with other agencies and community organizations, providing quality services to our clients and focusing on ways that we can continue to improve our services.
History
North Kitsap Fishline is the largest food bank and emergency services organization in the North Kitsap area and as such, provides food and non-food services to the greatest number of people within its service area. Fishline has a 43 year history of serving the needs of the low/no income population in North Kitsap and has grown substantially since its inception in a local church, as a small emergency aid resource. Although originally started by area churches, Fishline is now a non-secular organization with no ties to religious groups other than as a recipient of donations.
Fishline was founded in 1967 to provide food and transportation assistance for families and individuals in crisis. In 1979, due to the abundant donations of clothing and household items, Fishline opened a thrift shop in addition to the food bank. This was not only a resource for clients, but also provided needed revenue to purchase food for the food bank.
Due to the continued increase in clients and the expansion of services offered by Fishline, it became a registered non-profit corporation in 1983. For the same reasons, in 1986 a capital campaign was completed and a larger building was purchased on Third Avenue in Poulsbo where Fishline continues to provide services to the North Kitsap community. In 2010 Fishline moved its thrift store to a new location away from the main building and began the remodel and expansion of the food bank into the old thrift space. The Food-for-Thought program will be given permanent inventory and assembly space when the remodel is complete.
Over the years the need grew and Fishline increased its services to include a full scale food bank and a broad scope of emergency services made up of eviction prevention rent, medical/prescription co-pays, emergency overnight accommodations and first-month rent for the homeless, transportation assistance (gas and bus), free clothing and household needs (through the thrift shop) and utilities assistance. Other needs are considered on an individual basis. Most recently, October 2009, Fishline started a new weekend feeding program for children, Food-for-Thought. Fishline now offers the largest and most comprehensive program in North Kitsap.
Fishline has become an integral member of the community and recently earned two awards recognizing the quality and importance of the critical serves provided. The Poulsbo-North Kitsap Chamber of Commerce recognized Fishline as the “Outstanding Organization of the Year”. Food Lifeline (300 members/Western Washington) honored Fishline with their “Excellence in Client Services” award for the professionalism, quality of service provided and innovation in program offerings.
