West Seattle's Going Solar!
A 40-foot-tall banner highlighting the High Point Neighborhood Center is up near the West Seattle Bridge and is visible to eastbound commuters. Atop the High Point Neighborhood Center will be 256 solar panels comprising 6,000 square feet--the largest array in the entire state of Washington, right here in West Seattle! For more information, visit our High Point Neighborhood Center page.

Welcome to Neighborhood House
The mission of Neighborhood House is to help diverse communities of people with limited resources attain their goals for self-sufficiency, financial independence, health and community building.
From our earliest beginnings serving Jewish immigrants in the 1900s to our work today with people from numerous countries and cultures, Neighborhood House has helped generations of families fulfill the promise of America — an education for their children, self-sufficiency for their families and a meaningful place in a caring community.
Our case workers, teachers, volunteers and tutors (many of whom are bilingual) work in neighborhoods across King County. We provide tutoring, citizenship classes, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, job training, case management, community health programs and transportation to more than 11,000 low-income people each year.

Chocolate for a cause
Know someone who loves chocolate? What could be better than getting them gourmet chocolate that will also support vital services for the region's most vulnerable? Fran's Chocolate, one of the Northwest's premier chocolatiers, donates a percentage of all purchases of Fran's Dark Chocolate Sauce (Item #500200) to benefit Neighborhood House and our mission to help people with limited resources attain self-sufficiency.

Reading comes to life at Neighborhood House
The children in Neighborhood House's Rainier Vista Head Start classroom proved that a pile of new books is about as irresistible as it gets.
With gusto, they descended on dozens of books donated to Neighborhood House by patrons of Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
They also listened and played along as Barnes & Noble's Erin Vargo gave an animated reading of "Where the Wild Things Are."
"We really focus on sparking a love of reading in our students," said NH Child Development Director Kathee Richter.
