Our Partnerships

Explore our partnerships and on-campus neighbors. We have a passion for alleviating housing insecurity and homelessness.

Our On-Campus Neighbors

At St. Luke’s, we believe that loving our neighbors is a sacred calling. Jesus summed up all of scripture with the invitation to love God and love our neighbor—and we take that to heart. For decades, we’ve held our North Bellevue campus with open hands, partnering with organizations that serve, shelter, and uplift. Together, we work to alleviate housing insecurity, food scarcity, and isolation—because no one should face hardship alone.
