The Bridge Care Center COVID-19 Response
Due to the public health crisis of COVID-19, we made the difficult decision to close our regular outreach hours in March, 2020, for the time being. This was done in order to care for the health needs of our neighbors, volunteers, and staff in the face of a virus that we learned spread easily and quickly, and had a heavy impact on at-risk populations. We have also undertaken mitigation efforts related to accepting donations, providing individualized resources/hand-washing/food support where we can, and caring for the community through advocacy, fundraising, and increasing awareness. We know that this is a very hard time to be without a place to "shelter in place" and continue to learn how to adapt to provide support to the community where we can.
IF YOU NEED RESOURCES
Please call our BCC office phone at 206-789-0220 and leave a message on our answering machine with your name, a phone number/way to contact you, and a general idea of what you need. We will call you back in 1-2 days, and work with you to see if we can get or refer you to the resources you need. Our outreach managers are often able to meet you where you are to provide individual resources while being gloved, masked, and remaining at a healthy social distance.
There is also a list of resources, meals, support, rent assistance, etc. being offered throughout the city in this google doc - visit for more info and support services.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP
- Follow us on Facebook to keep up with current needs, ways to help, prayer requests, etc.

- Order off of our Amazon Wish List to shop online and buy high demand resources that get delivered directly to our staff for distribution to our neighbors.
- You can become a regular monthly financial partner and help ensure that our mission of meeting immediate needs and addressing systemic causes continues; donate monthly at any amount that you want to give - and learn more what your gift of $20 or $50 per month would provide to the community.
-Give a one-time financial gift online by choosing The Bridge Care Center from the drop-down menu to the right of the donation amount.
