“BHHS Legacy Foundation’s commitment to funding programs for the Center for Help & Hope is a reflection of our shared responsibility to uplift the most vulnerable among us,” said Teri Tomlinson, Vice President of Program Development at the BHHS Legacy Foundation. “By channeling resources into housing solutions, healthcare, and job assistance, we not only address immediate needs, but we also pave the way for lasting change and a brighter future for all. We appreciate each staff member and thank them for working tirelessly day in and day out taking care of those who need us the most.”
In 2023, the Center for Help & Hope served a staggering 74,356 meals to the unhoused population in Bullhead City. The shelter also provided over 7,400 showers; 5,900 loads of laundry; and 4,000 computer sessions for those seeking employment and/or applying for social security, disability and other benefits.
Shelter staff connect those seeking help to resources that promote stability in all areas of life, including medical care, employment and transportation assistance, hot meals, clothing and toiletries and case management.
“All the staff members are helpful, and they don’t hold being outdoors against you. Which a lot of people do, even if it’s through no fault of your own.”

BHHS Legacy Foundation also partnered with Catholic Charities and Food for Families to fund a Thanksgiving Day meal distribution for local families who are struggling to make ends meet. Because of this partnership, over 600 families received a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal, complete with pumpkin pie. The monetary donation received from the BHHS Legacy Foundation was accompanied by an equal amount of logistical and program support from Foundation personnel.
We thank the BHHS Legacy Foundation board of directors and staff for their partnership and unwavering commitment to walking alongside our most vulnerable neighbors in Bullhead City. Together, we can do more than we could ever do alone.
