Base Camp: a community hub for homeless neighbors in Bellingham

Located at 1312 F Street, Base Camp is open 24/7.

Base Camp is not only a walk-in Emergency Overnight Shelter, it also includes several programs: Enhanced Shelter Dorms for men and women, a Medical Respite program, Family Shelter and eventually a Behavioral Health program beginning in the summer of 2025. Through meeting basic needs, we aim to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community. We welcome all.
