Partnership:
This service is provided in partnership with the Bellingham Public Library, which in 2008 merged its Whatcom Information Network with WhatcomCounts.org Local Resources. The Library catalog now links to WhatcomCounts.org Local Resources to fulfill their mission of connecting patrons to free and impartial information.

Add or Update Listings: For local organizations, WhatcomCounts.org Local Resources provides a vital link to the community which can yield new clients, volunteers, collaborators, and publicity.

Tell Your Story: Your organization is more than just a resource. Behind it is a group of passionate, dedicated people with a story to tell. Share your story and connect with site visitors through our Get to Know a Resource Questionnaire.


Need Help? If you are in need of assistance, The Opportunity Council now offers an online community resource aimed at helping connect those in need with the service providers that can help them. NWCommunityResources.org provides helpful information for low income families and individuals in need.
