"Bringing the community together to meet the needs of vulnerable Bellevue Public School families."
About Us
In 2017, Suzanne Quinn and Charlene Cobbs combined their volunteer resources to more effectively meet the needs of Bellevue Public School families. This partnership increased their capacity to provide for growing community needs. Char and Suzanne met with other volunteers and all agreed that together this volunteer group could accomplish greater things for the school community and the non-profit
Bellevue Together
was formed.How Does it Work?
All families are referred by Bellevue Public School counselors and social workers. They interview each family and determine their needs. Then if deemed qualified, refer them to Bellevue Together for assistance.
Major
Events

The last week of July, each referred student receives new clothes, underwear, socks, shoes, and a backpack with age-appropriate school supplies. Older students also receive hygiene kits.
Thanksgiving Event
Each registered Bellevue Public School referred family receives a box of food to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal, including a turkey and pie.
Christmas Event (Hands of Hope Project)
Each registered Bellevue Public School referred family receives two boxes of food to use over the long Christmas break. Each child also receives one clothing gift and a game/toy/gift card.
