(KITSAP COUNTY, Wash.) -- With the COVID-19 pandemic impacting us deeply, Kitsap Community Foundation, in partnership with the Kitsap County Emergency Operations Center, created a new website called “Kitsap Cares” to serve as a centralized point of information for local community resources to help individuals, nonprofit organizations, and businesses cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

Kitsap Community Foundation manages the website that includes comprehensive information about where to look for help from local organizations – and ways to help through donating time, money, or equipment. More resources are added daily. 

You are invited to explore the site, share it with others, and suggest a resource or way to assist that may not be listed. A contact link is provided on the site. 

Kitsap County also maintains two websites to help residents find the government services they need:

• Emergency Operations Center - Coronavirus Resources and Information includes the latest coronavirus pandemic announcements from the Emergency Operations Center and government resources and information from local, state, and federal agencies.
• Kitsap County's online government services page helps people contact county departments and access county services remotely during the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" Order.
