Solid Ground

Solid Ground (originally called the Fremont Public Association) was founded in 1974 by community leaders and concerned citizens of one of Seattle’s then most economically devastated neighborhoods, Fremont. Their first services – emergency food bank, clothing bank, and employment program – reflected the desperate needs and determined response of a mobilized and committed neighborhood. As the scope and severity of homelessness and poverty have increased over the years, so too has their range of services and their reach to the greater community. Now based in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, their 22 programs and services help more than 60,000 households each year overcome poverty and build better futures throughout King County and across Washington state.
