American Red Cross

The American Red Cross Northwest Region proudly serves Washington State and the five northern counties of Idaho. Local volunteers care for their neighbors, train hundreds of thousands of people each year in life-saving skills, and respond to a local disaster almost daily. Last year, our region responded to more than 1,100 disasters; reached more than 40,000 youth and adults with safety and preparedness training; assisted 2,860 military families and individuals with emergency communications, welfare inquires and other services; and brought together 4,735 local volunteers who gave over 200,000 service hours of time and expertise.

Bainbridge Island Volunteer Firefighters Association

Since 1942, BIVFA members have served as firefighters and emergency medical technicians on Bainbridge Island. Funds raised support firefighting, emergency medical services, rescue, public safety education, member training related equipment purchases.

Bainbridge Prepares

Bainbridge Prepares supports our community through communication and awareness about emergency preparedness because when we’re all connected and informed, our island thrives.

A collaborative blend of individuals, organizations, and local government, Bainbridge Prepares is actively making our island more resilient. In the event of a large natural disaster like an earthquake our brave first responders will be overwhelmed and we’ll be on our own in our neighborhoods. That’s when community is vital—neighbors helping neighbors—with everyone taking care of each other.

Join your friends and neighbors to ensure our island is ready for anything; learn more at our website.

Coffee Oasis

The Coffee Oasis mission is to change the world for homeless youth in one community after another through evidence-based programs supported by sustainable coffee businesses. Since 1997, The Coffee Oasis has provided the core services needed both to prevent homelessness and to help homeless youth (ages 13-25 years old) off the streets. We accomplish this through street and school outreach, drop-in centers, housing, case management, mentoring and job training.

Kitsap Rescue Mission

The Kitsap Rescue Mission was founded in 2009 when two leaders from the Bread of Life Mission in Seattle recognized the need for help for the homeless on the Kitsap Peninsula. In April 2014, we purchased our current building at 810 6th St. in Bremerton as the new home for the Mission. The building is old and had been standing empty for more than a decade, so is in need of major repair and renovation. In February 2016, we met another long-time goal of the Mission – to provide overnight shelter for homeless men, women, and children. On February 22nd, we started providing showers (using our mobile shower unit) and shelter for men, women, and children seven nights per week! We were forced to close the shelter in May due to a lack of volunteers but reopened it in the winter of 2017 and are now open every day of the year.
