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 2023, Weekday Program served 174 individuals with developmental disabilities and provided respite care to 118 families. 104851 4476 15074 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.

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 2023, Higbee Hikers served 31 individuals with developmental disabilities. 0 0 0 673848 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 11 0 26 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 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 61591 0 0 Roberta Vollendorf Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 April McMurry Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Charlie Sylvester Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Brien Thane Director 1 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 3 0 X 0 0 0 Torhil Ramsay Vice President 2 0 X 0 0 0 LaVonne Olsen Treasurer 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mandy Richards Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 61591 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24085 0 54091 0 332632 279471 7591 690279 Participant programs 624120 96877 96877 0 0 0 0 0 0 96877 5820 0 0 5820 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 180839 54091 182383 -1544 0 -1544 2361 0 0 2361 2361 793793 96877 0 6637 0 0 28767 28767 0 0 0 0 61591 33875 15398 12318 0 0 0 0 430635 397612 31919 1104 0 0 0 0 1297 1297 0 0 54156 48029 4679 1448 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14295 0 14295 0 0 0 0 0 4219 4219 0 0 0 0 2330 170 580 1580 891 338 205 348 8007 2615 4309 1083 7869 658 5739 1472 0 0 0 0 110436 86895 20847 2694 616 616 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58987 41291 11797 5899 7580 0 7580 0 Program supplies, classes, workshops 25776 25776 0 0 Staff development and retention 8935 5909 3026 0 1668 0 1668 0 828055 673848 122042 32165 24666 16748 288164 286707 0 0 55931 0 0 0 0 6102 0 589873 229786 419074 360087 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 743006 724473 9608 13769 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9608 13769 X 733398 710704 0 0 733398 710704 743006 724473 X -34262 0 0 0 0 11568 X X 0 0 0 X 334363 742028 643573 483677 690279 2893920 62163 23130 28779 53849 96877 264798 396526 765158 672352 537526 787156 3158718 3158718 980 2238 1037 594 5820 10669 980 2238 1037 594 5820 10669 2361 2361 397506 767396 673389 538120 795337 3171748 0.99589 0.91185 0.00336 0.00281 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Credit card rebates, multi-year excise tax refund from Washington State Department of Revenue.
