About Us
Bethel Community Services is a community-based volunteer collaboration of school personnel, community citizens and service providers, formed in 2001. We support Bethel School District & the surrounding communities in Unincorporated Pierce County, Washington by connecting youth and families to resources that educate, empower, create new opportunities and meet basic needs for a healthy life.
Coalition Meetings
Meets virtually on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Each meeting has a theme and we invite a presenter to speak on a particular topic. If you are interested, please email bcsinfo@bethelservices.org.

ABC Day takes place on the first Saturday of October each year. BCS is the fiscal agent for this annual event.

Testimonials
“I want to thank the Bethel Family Center for their outpouring of support as a mom of two under two. We were honored to be selected for the holiday toy drive and not only made the holidays special for me and my family but allowed us to eat dinner together as a family. I also participate in the monthly diaper drive which has been a blessing. Thank you again for all that you do at the Bethel Family Center and for being a resource to my family and many others.”
Holidays of Hope Recipient
“A brave young student in our McKinney-Vento program underwent cancer treatment this year, facing a journey no child should have to endure. Their parent and grandparent drove back and forth to Seattle for frequent appointments to ensure the student received the care they needed. With no stable housing, the rising cost of gas became overwhelming. Thanks to supportive resources, we were able to ease that burden and help the family stay focused on the student’s recovery.”
Cancer Treatment Transportation Support
“For several months, a McKinney-Vento family lived without access to power. They cycled through multiple generators trying to maintain basic living conditions. A generator was ultimately provided to power their trailer and ensure the student and family had heat. This support was crucial to their safety and stability and helped the student remain engaged in school during a difficult time.”
