About Us


The Kent-Outreach provides low-income Kent residents with food, water, clothing, utility shut-off assistance, drivers license and IDs, and referral infomration. We also provide school supplies and household furnishings, when they are available. Those seeking help must live within the Kent school district, be disabled, have children living with them, or are senior citizens. We always help the low-income.

The Outreach began almost 30 years ago when St. James saw the need arise. During these desparate times, our office is a lifeline for those in need. It has evolved into a place that gives hope to those in need.

Qualifications:

Must reside within Kent school district boundary zipcode: (98030, 98031, 98032, 98042,98058)
But we support all those who are currently without permanent shelter
