Community Services/Non-Profits in Poulsbo, WA

“Local food bank with lots of selection of fresh food. Very friendly and helpful workers who truly have compassion for those in need. Usually plenty of parking but can be busy at times. Convenient hours but selections may be reduced for food options the later you go in the day, best to get there shortly after they open. All Kitsap county residents are welcome.”

“Always so friendly and willing to help in anyway they can. It is a small program and many things do need upgrading but they are still available to provide a variety of activities and classes. One of the many things I love about Poulsbo.”

“After months of searching for a new Primary Care doctor and not having an ounce of luck in being able to find someone that will take my insurance AND accept new patients AND be located in Kitsap County.. I finally found Franciscan Medical Group in Poulsbo that would. However, their first available appt was quite literally over a year out. I scheduled it anyway but knew I needed to keep looking. One day I came across Peninsula Community Health. I called for an appt not expecting much since the reviews here aren’t entirely raving. Much to my surprise they had availability for my needs in just 8 weeks. EIGHT WEEKS. So I snagged it. The day I arrived and checked in everything was smooth and the front desk gal was so kind. The ONLY reason I didn’t give this review 5 stars is because from the scheduled appt time to the time I actually saw and talked to my doctor the wait time was almost 2hrs. I get it though, sometimes doctor appts run behind and that’s probably what I get for scheduling a late afternoon appt. While a smidge frustrated all my annoyances went out the window after I met my new doctor Lisa Dropp for the first time. SHE. IS. AMAZING. So kind, energetic, empathetic, listens, cares and just all around gentle and lovely. I don’t typically leave reviews but I left PCHS knowing I would need to for this. From the day I called and the gal who scheduled me to the front desk ladies who checked me in on two different occasions, to the physician assistant and of course including the doctor and even the phlebotomist EVERYONE I interacted w/at PCHS was absolutely wonderful. They are all kind, calm, gentle, easy to work with and professional. As someone who also works the front desk myself, I know it’s NOT easy dealing w/people all day every day. But everyone at the PCHS Poulsbo location made a really great impression on me. I whole heartedly appreciated being able to get an appt in such a short amount of time (8 wks compared to a year is HUGE.) and I’m SO grateful my new doctor was a available to take new patients because she is great! In the future when I make appts I’ll know to take the day off again for them just in case things are running behind. Thankfully I already had these two particular days off but just a reminder to myself I may not be able to squeeze a doctor appt in on a lunch break, hah. All to say, thank you PCHS for existing ?”

“Cannot say enough about all the staff that care for Mama and my daily visiting father. The tremendous care and hearts they have for their residents is astounding and such a blessing. When mom got taken to the hospital, they visit, bring dad breakfast and coffee and hugs and signed caring notes from them all. Means so much. They are family now and deserve so much. Thank you Martha and Mary staff.??✝️??✝️”
