Operation Nightwatch (“Nightwatch”) is a Christian nonprofit organization with a mission to reduce the impact of poverty and homelessness, in keeping with Jesus’ teaching to love our neighbors. We started as a street outreach ministry over 50 years ago, and we’ve never stopped. Through the years, as the downtown Seattle community has changed, so we also have shifted our focus to meet emerging needs. We make friends and bring resources to individuals facing homelessness, including matching individuals with available shelter capacity each night. Volunteers provide a hot meal starting at 9:00 p.m. every night, after other programs have closed and gone home. There’s nothing like handing a slice of hot pizza at 10:00 pm to someone who had a tough day. When they move into housing, Nightwatch is there to help find a bed, order up a microwave, or check in for coffee. At Nightwatch, we help people with getting outfitted for work, replacing their ID, and getting someone caught up on union dues after a long lay-off. Operation Nightwatch is a place for people to join a community that devotes themselves to serving our homeless neighbors.
