Coronavirus Response Update - March 16, 10:30 a.m.

The unprecedented and ever-changing coronavirus situation has already been devastating for low-income families in our community. We are working with the Bellevue School District to support these families and address any emerging needs.

How can you help? Please make a contribution on our website or by calling 425-451-1175 to immediately support our efforts.

• Our board has approved an emergency order to purchase $115,000 in Safeway food vouchers. The vouchers will be distributed to families starting on Monday, March 16. This is intended to fill the gap for families who cannot access the Bellevue School District's food distribution sites.
• We were notified us of an emergency need for Monday morning breakfast. We have committed to providing food for 750 students.
• Beginning in April, we estimate a 25-50% increase in emergency rent assistance from parents who are having their work hours cut or eliminated. This rough estimate represents an increased cost of $26,500-$53,000. Families could be negatively impacted for several months.
