COMMUNITY SERVICES
Queen Anne Lutheran Church works with many nonprofits in our community to reach out to those in need. Our members give their time, as well as donations of goods, building use, and money. The following is a list of organizations we work with on an ongoing basis. You are welcome to help us in our work! Contact the church office to find out more.
Queen Anne Helpline
QAHL provides financial and basic needs assistance to seniors, families and individuals facing hardship or short-term crises. QAELC has provided both financial assistance, and has made our facilities available and provided volunteers for the annual July QAHL Crown of Queen Anne Fun Run-Walk.

Mary’s Place
Twice a year for a week or two, our church provides homeless women and children with dinner and shelter. These families rotate among churches throughout the year, an effort coordinated by Mary’s Place. Mary’s Place provides a broad range of services for homeless families.
Hosting the shelter requires around 40 volunteers each week–contact the church office if you would like to participate!

Lutheran World Relief
Twice a year we have an ingathering of dozens of quilts that have been created by our members, principally of the Women’s group. Some have made as many as 25 or 30 in a six-month period! The Women’s group and Men’s group also gather school, personal and baby care kits. Members have assisted in loading the goods on a truck in Ballard for shipment, principally for destinations for destinations in Africa. We also provide financial assistance to LWR annually.
