The Jean Kim Foundation was organized by the Rev. Dr. Jean Kim and her friends in October of 2015. The goal was to continue the legacy of Jean Kim’s life-long service to people in need. The monetary gifts she received for her 80th birthday became the seed money to start the Foundation.
Jean Kim Foundation now helps provide basic necessities, services, dignity, and hope to people in need, especially those experiencing homelessness and/or housing insecurity.
Currently we operate a Hygiene Center in Lynnwood, providing showers and restroom facilities 6 days a week and a small temporary pallet shelter called Shepherd’s Village. We also provide space for local providers to meet with people seeking assistance access social services agencies.
The Hygiene Center is located in the old Emissions Building at 19726 64th Ave West in Lynnwood and is open Monday-Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm, we operate two warm showers and provide hygiene products, towels, clothing and food.
We believe supporting people in need is a community effort and we welcome volunteers and donations. We carry a deeply rooted commitment to honoring the dignity of people in need. Please reach out to us if you are interesting in serving our neighbors.
