We are sad to announce that Puentes will be sunsetting this month (FEB 2022). We appreciate all your support over the years. There are many organizations doing great work so there is no void. We are thankful that the community recognizes the importance of mental health for sound communities.

Now that the COVID-19 vaccines are being made available to the public in phases, there is excitement and hope about moving beyond what has been a long and difficult time for all of us.

While these vaccines are a major step forward in overcoming the COVID-19 virus, we recognize that many of you may have questions and concerns about these vaccines despite receiving information about them from many sources including social media, television, radio and other sources including perhaps, family members and friends.

To respond to your questions and concerns, we are holding a number of information sessions in multiple languages via Zoom. All these sessions will be led by UW Medicine clinicians.

UW Medicine Community Conversations: Straight Talk about COVID 19 Vaccines

We encourage anyone to attend. Please come with your questions prepared. We will start each session with general information and then move on to questions and answers.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We would like to thank all the philanthropists who give to Seattle Foundation! Your contributions helped us get rent, food and utilities assistance to so many underserved families. We would also like to thank our donors whose donations have allowed us to continue offering much needed mental health assistance to immigrant families. Many blessings for the new year! If you would like to contribute to our work, visit us at

Thank you so much for your interest in contributing to our mission financially. It means a lot to us! We rely on the support of our community to help families in immigration proceedings stay and be together. Your money directly helps us provide hundreds of hours of pro-bono services each month.

Puentes would like to thank our supporters. Even under COVID conditions, we have been able to help families with evaluations, psychotherapy, food and rental assistance. We couldn't do this without the help from our generous donors and partner organization. We have helped about 200 people this year. We are small but mighty.
