Together Center creates access to human services, so people can find help when the need it. Tens of thousands of people from throughout East King County seek services at Together Center, a regional facility. Here people find help at 20 essential human service agencies and other critical resources, including shelter, medical and dental care, counseling, child care, supports for the disabled, mental health services, and much more.
Mission
Together Center makes lives better by helping people find the assistance they need. We do this by co-locating a large array of programs on one campus and connecting people to these and other resources. We build a collaborative and knowledgeable association of service providers working together to empower people and our communities.
Vision
One of the first multi-tenant nonprofit centers in the nation, Together Center works collaboratively to improve efficiencies and to lower barriers to finding help. We build partnerships to meet gaps in services and provide information, referral and other assistance to ensure all people can find help when they need it.
Our Staff
Our dedicated staff are committed to our mission, our community and our member agencies to ensure their success at the Together Center.
