About Lake City Collective

Lake city collective through the support and partnership with the city of seattle, king county, seattle parks foundation and others individuals, was able to provide much needed support and relief to hundreds of residents in our area during the worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our center was used as a mutual hub where neighbors had access to resources which included, but not limited to, emergency grocery vouchers, rent relief, up- to-date COVID-19 information, access to testing, ppe and other resources for people or relatives who got sick with COVID-19. Other efforts included outreach for the census 2020, support to ethnic businesses, and other projects in partnership with other nonprofit organizations, all while continuing building our internal capacity.
