Humanize Homelessness is an all-volunteer tax-exempt organization in Bellevue, Washington - dedicated to the principle that helping those less fortunate in our community leads to a kinder, more supportive and more successful society for all of us.
King County has the third-largest concentration in the nation of people living in homelessness, behind NYC and LAX. That statistic alone gives us some small measure of the enormous challenges we seek to address.
The people of Humanize Homelessness strive to accomplish our mission by leveraging the skills and networks we used in our business careers to form partnerships with local shelter providers, local service providers and businesses – all to add value to the services they already provide to the homeless population. We also seek to attract and guide new volunteers and businesses to support and champion people who are struggling.
Humanize Homelessness is currently seeking volunteers with all types of skills. Not just the food delivery preparation skills or gathering supplies positions that are always needed, but also in the fields of digital design, program management, marketing, programming/coding, social media management, and event planning. We encourage you to fill out a volunteer form (link to volunteer form) if you’re interested in learning more.
You can learn more below about the three programs we have in place to serve the community: Know Your Neighbor, Be Our Champion and Back On Your Feet.
Finally, of course, we always encourage monetary donations if that is your preferred way of supporting our mission.
Thank you for your interest and support!
