Supporting Bellevue Children and Families

Bellevue LifeSpring envisions a Bellevue where the basic needs of all children are met so they can focus in the classroom, succeed in their education, and thrive.

Invest in our mission

With delays in federal SNAP (food stamp) benefits, thousands of Bellevue children are now at risk of experiencing hunger. More than 25% of students in Bellevue, 4,750 in total, qualify for SNAP benefits.
