Diverse program activities include yoga, library visits, dance classes, rock climbing, art classes, kayaking, gardening and more. This program aims to support and empower participants to build their health and happiness, to increase their community engagement, to pursue life-long learning, and to socialize and create friendships. Individualized, goal-based services are offered to individuals who need higher levels of support or for those participants who have specific personal goals they would like to work towards with support from a staff member. The Weekday Program supports families through respite care, affording family caregivers an opportunity to have a break from caregiving roles and responsibilities while their loved one with a disability is in a safe and enriching environment. Respite care is critical to family stability, resiliency, and well-being by providing support to family caregivers to work, seek employment, take care of family obligations like grocery shopping, and rest and recuperate. In 2024, Weekday Program served 182 individuals with developmental disabilities and provided respite care to 117 families. 62620 4951 13052 The Weekend Program is held Friday and Saturday evenings and creates a welcoming environment for people with developmental disabilities to socialize and enjoy typical weekend recreational activities together.

Individualized, goal-based services are offered to individuals who need higher levels of support or for those who have specific and personal goals they would like to work towards with support. The Weekend Program supports families through respite care so that family caregivers may have a break from caregiving roles while their loved one with a disability is in a safe and enriching environment. In 2024, The Weekend Program served 73 individuals with developmental disabilities and provided respite care to 46 families. 103751 2213 445 The seasonal Higbee Hikers Program meets every Saturday and runs 8 months out of the year to support participants in outdoor recreation and to increase access to local trails and paths. This program works to remove barriers and promotes inclusivity in the outdoor community. Staff are trained to plan accessible routes, offer mobility assistance to participants, create route modifications as needed, and provide individual support and encouragement to participants. Like all of MHC's programs, the Higbee Hikers Program incorporates education, life-long learning, and transferable skills. The program teaches participants how to use the bus to access local trails so that they may access those trails independently or with other caregivers outside of the program. Public transportation is a valuable skill that benefits participants in their social, recreational, school, and work lives as well. The program offers educational experiences through topics like plant identification, outdoor skills, and trail etiquette. In 2024, Higbee Hikers served 21 individuals with developmental disabilities. 0 0 0 765089 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 26 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X Riannon Bardsley 3607468724 1400 N State St Suite 101 Bellingham WA 98225 Kaitlyn Whiteside Executive Director 40 0 X 71683 0 0 Riannon Bardsley Executive Director 40 0 X 16365 0 905 Brien Thane Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 April McMurry Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Sylvester Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kaitlyn Miller Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Naaman Hinton Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Amanda White President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Torhil Ramsay Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Nicholas Gray Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Roberta Vollendorf Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 88048 0 905 0 0 0 0 0 12471 0 55397 0 371483 426323 13239 865674 Participant programs 624120 148354 148354 0 0 0 0 0 0 148354 6282 0 0 6282 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 194497 55397 169581 24916 0 24916 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 681 0 0 681 681 1045907 148354 0 31879 0 0 57358 57358 0 0 0 0 88049 58112 12327 17610 0 0 0 0 488860 434576 51085 3199 0 0 0 0 17559 17129 249 181 55243 51027 2183 2033 12360 0 12360 0 0 0 0 0 16800 0 16800 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 150 150 0 0 97 11 50 36 5818 2119 2760 939 13596 1421 12175 0 0 0 0 0 105079 77398 23266 4415 668 668 0 0 0 0 0 0 5406 23 0 5383 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58987 41291 11797 5899 3753 0 3753 0 Program supplies, classes, and workshops 20365 20365 0 0 Staff development and retention 6822 3441 3381 0 559 0 559 0 957529 765089 152745 39695 16748 9396 286707 436501 0 0 55931 66851 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 589873 288773 360087 301100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 724473 819648 13769 20566 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13769 20566 X 710704 788282 0 10800 710704 799082 724473 819648 88378 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 742028 643573 483677 690279 865674 3425231 23130 28779 53849 96877 148354 350989 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 765158 672352 537526 787156 1014028 3776220 0 0 0 0 16710 16710 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16710 16710 3759510 2238 1037 594 5820 6282 15971 0 0 0 0 0 0 2238 1037 594 5820 6282 15971 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2361 682 3043 767396 673389 538120 795337 1020992 3795234 0.99059 0.99589 0.00421 0.00336 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Credit card rebates RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 589873 288773 301100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 301100 April Brews Day 249894 55397 194497 0 0 18322 24840 12426 113993 0 0 249894 55397 194497 0 0 18322 24840 12426 113993 169581 24916 1 See Schedule I, Part IV, Statement 1 62 57358 0 dollar value of discounts provided Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Financial assistance is provided to participants who self-identify a need for financial assistance.
