LIDS of MLT

WHO WE ARE

We are neighbors helping neighbors in Mountlake Terrace, WA.

LIDS of MLT (Low Income, Disabled, and Seniors of Mountlake Terrace) supports our community members who fall through the gaps: those who don’t qualify for federal assistance but still struggle to meet basic daily needs on limited Social Security income. Many of these residents live alone or with a spouse, without additional family support.

LIDS of MLT was founded by community members who saw a need and stepped up, because tough times call for looking out for one another.
