LOCAL OUTREACH

Sharing our living faith in Jesus with those who we share community with.

The YWCA Bellingham is part of a national network of programs with the shared mission of ending racism, empowering women, and promoting peace justice, and freedom for all.

The YWCA Women’s housing programs include shelter, transitional housing, and senior women’s housing. FPC partners with the YWCA to provide temporary housing.

Shuksan Middle School Partnership

Invited by Bellingham Public Schools into a partnership with a local school, FPC partners with Shuksan Middle School by supporting staff and school projects as directed by the school administration. 

Each school year, our goal is to raise $4,000 to support the school.

  • Each month we fill the Shuksan staff room with treats and baked goods.

  • We support students by supplying prizes, hot cocoa and volunteer cheers for the annual Turkey Trot.

  • We support staff by purchasing staff sweatshirts and making Teacher Appreciation Week special.

  • Extra funds raised will be used in collaboration with the Principal to support Shuksan staff, students and their families.
