Update: Drop-In Center Relocating to Bellingham High School due to Covid-19

Due to much effort between the City of Bellingham, Bellingham School District, Whatcom County Health Department, and the Lighthouse Mission, the Mission’s Drop-In Center will be temporarily relocating to Bellingham High School. The extra space at Bellingham High School will support the six-foot distancing mandate, offer showers, and provide separate quarantine space if and when that becomes needed.

“Our community came together to figure out a solution so the Drop-In Center will safely serve our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Many hands were involved and I’m incredibly grateful for those partnerships.” – Hans Erchinger-Davis, Executive Director of Lighthouse Mission Ministries

This move is a major undertaking and the Mission’s expenses have increased while donations have decreased because of the coronavirus. Your help is greatly needed during this time of transition and uncertainty. Please donate today.
