WELCOME TO THE BREMERTON FOODLINE (BFL)
As is true across our country, the need for food is increasing dramatically as individuals face the difficult choice between food and housing, food and medicine, food and childcare…food and heat. Bremerton Foodline (BFL) eases the burden of that choice just a bit by providing a much needed emergency safety net. Our work is possible thanks to the support of our wonderful volunteers and donations from individuals, businesses, churches and community organizations. Only working together can we alleviate the pain of hunger for our neighbors!
If you need help or know someone that needs help please see our Need Help? page for valuable information, or contact us at BFL (see contact info below).
BFL AND COMMUNITY NEWS
SEVERE WEATHER SHELTERING – The Foodline in conjunction with the Kitsap County Dept of Emergency Management are now providing severe weather sheltering at the Foodline facility. Go to http://www.kitsapdem.org/ for the latest information regarding specific times and places. This information is also provided at the Foodline facility, the Salvation Army and on Sally Santana’s blog: “Side Street News”.
There is a greater need than ever for warm clothing, tents, sleeping bags, etc. See our “Who Are the Homeless” page.
CFC – For those that donate via the Combined Federal Campaign please remember to specify the Bremerton Foodline for your donation. Thank you.
The Foodline needs volunteers. Because of recent state budget cut-backs the numbers of volunteers we get from Kitsap Community Resources is way down. We handle lots of food each day and serve many clients. We need volunteers in many areas. Contact us if you might consider volunteering, even for one day a week. See contact info below.
