Catholic Community Services
*The Snohomish County Family Center has been responding to the needs of the community since 1942, when it was known as the Catholic Children’s Bureau which offered two programs in the community: Foster Care and Adoptions. When a community needs assessment process was undertaken in 1981, those needs changed resulting in the growth into the current multi-service family center located in Everett, Washington. The center’s definition of success is found in its philosophy, which embraces individualized, needs-driven, strength-based services. This philosophy shapes and affirms our partnership with the individuals, families and communities that we serve. Our mission is to serve men, women and children who come to us for assistance, with compassion and understanding while supporting and promoting self-sufficiency. We believe every child should grow up in a safe, loving, nurturing environment, in joining with others to change systems which oppress, discriminate or otherwise cause human suffering, and to work towards affirming and supporting a healthy family life.

Holy Ghost Revival Ministries Mack House of Western Washington [http://holyghostrevivalministries.org/]
*We provide a gradual transition into a productive sober rehabilitative lifestyle that balances the mind, body, and spirit while promoting mental, emotional and behavioral changes.  Sharing responsibilities, experience, strength, and hope with others who are walking the same path to transitional living and recovery provides a powerful support structure with God's help.  This relationship is a crucial component of the process of solidifying gains made by individuals while increasing self-esteem and accountability in a period that vulnerability to relapse is traditionally highest. You don't have to be a Christian to come to live in the Mack House, but you will be required to act as though you are one, and you can be sure that we will be praying for you to live a clean, sober, rehabilitated lifestyle thriving with Jesus Christ as the center of your life.
