Bridge to Basics Program
Washington state has many resources to help people who are low-income or struggling financially. Unfortunately, most don’t realize they are eligible for services that can help.
United Way of King County’s Bridge to Basics puts volunteers in the community to connect folks with money-savings services such as Basic Food (food stamps), low-cost health coverage and utility assistance.
