Who We Are

Immanuel Community Services (ICS) strives to alleviate the effects of poverty, hunger, homelessness and addiction by providing community-based social services to those in need through four programs in the Cascade Neighborhood of South Lake Union (SLU) of Seattle. Through our ICS Hygiene Center, SLU Food Bank at ICS, ICS Recovery Shelter and ICS Community Lunch, we strive to build relationships and be a place where people can become connected and involved. We work together to maintain dignity, rekindle hope and create a community of belonging.
