COVID-19 Seattle/43rd LD Resources

We’ve compiled some local Seattle resources that fill a variety of needs for our community members. Feel free to ask us any questions about anything on these lists, or contact us if you have any additional resources that aren’t mentioned here. Thank you to everyone who has put in the work to create these programs, webpages, lists, and more. Together as a community we can and will get through this.

With Love,

If You’re looking to help

Many of these relief funds and mutual aid networks are donation based, volunteer run programs. Click the links to donate or offer your services. Additionally, here is a list from the state with more ways to help out, by doing things like helping to procure PPE, donating blood (if you’re eligible and able), donating to the WA Food Fund, directly to food banks at Northwest Harvest or volunteering for local food banks. Also, check in with your neighbors, your loved ones, and your unhoused neighbors as well. Together, we can get through this.
