Mission: The primary activity of scc is to help shoreline residents who are in financial crisis, in the name of Jesus Christ. We have a 24 hour help line 206-496 3116. Shoreline residents leave their name and number. We schedule and interview to determine eligibility based on these criteria: they live in shoreline or very close to it; they have not been helped in the last six months and the money is needed for rent a utility or some other physical need. We help all shoreline residents regardless of religious beliefs. We follow up with clients to see if further help is needed such as referral to help finding a job, budgeting class and addiction recovery. We encourage clients to find a church, a relationship with jesus and some christian friends. Our goal is to make a permanent positive difference in the quality of our client's lives.
