The Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound (ECF) is an unique employee-owned charitable foundation. Since 1951, generous Boeing employees have contributed $500,000,000 (half- a-billion dollars!) to local Puget Sound nonprofits. ECF grants enable agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and create new programs that directly help their clients and strengthen our communities. Since 1979, the Employees Community Fund has funded $208,700 in direct grants to support Bread of Life Mission.

Most recently, the ECF responded to a request at the Mission that supports an essential part of our daily operations while we strive to provide food and shelter to the homeless in Seattle. ECF’s contibution of over $32,000 will include repairs and replacements that will allow us to conduct a complete renovation to the bathrooms and showers that our guests use every day.

We are honored and touched to be recipients of this grant and offer our heartfelt thanks to the Employees Community Fund of Boeing.  Organizations such as ECF are essential in helping the Mission meet daily survival needs for the people who come seeking shelter and hope.
