Organization Mission:
The mission of the Bellevue Community Center is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families in the Eastern Brandywine Hundred area by providing a range of affordable and accessible educational, recreational, self-enrichment, and family support services.
Why This Fundraiser Matters: Strengthening the Heart of Our Community
The Bellevue Community Center's DoMore24 fundraiser is more than just a campaign; it's a vital lifeline that strengthens the very heart of our community. This 24-hour event is a powerful opportunity for us to come together, pooling our resources and energy to make a substantial impact.
At Bellevue Community Center, we believe in nurturing and empowering every individual who walks through our doors. From providing essential childcare services and youth development programs to fostering community engagement through educational and recreational activities, we are committed to enriching lives and building a stronger, more vibrant community.
However, this mission is not something we can achieve alone. The DoMore24 fundraiser is crucial in helping us secure the necessary funds to sustain and expand our programs. Every dollar raised is a step towards:
- Enhancing our educational programs, ensuring that children and young adults receive the best possible learning experiences.
- Expanding our outreach initiatives, allowing us to reach more families and individuals in need.
- Upgrading our facilities and equipment, creating a safe and welcoming environment for all our members.
- Developing new and innovative programs that address the evolving needs of our community.
This fundraiser is a chance for everyone to play a part in the Bellevue Community Center's future. Your support, whether big or small, makes a significant difference. It enables us to continue our work and to dream bigger, reaching new heights in community service and impact.
Join us in this crucial endeavor. Let’s unite to ensure that the Bellevue Community Center remains a beacon of hope, growth, and unity in our community. Together, we can do more than we ever thought possible.

About Bellevue Community Center
The Bellevue Community Center - formerly known as the Edgemoor Community Center - has been quietly yet effectively serving the communities along the Philadelphia Pike corridor in Wilmington for 40 years. Annually, over 5,000 community members are served by the Bellevue Community Center through a broad range of educational, recreational, self-enrichment, athletic, cultural, and family support services and programming. BCC provides programming for individuals ranging from 6 weeks old to senior citizens.
The BCC is unique in that it serves economically- and racially-diverse populations which mirror the neighborhoods along the Philadelphia Pike between the southern boundary of Claymont and the northern boundary of the City of Wilmington. It truly is a "center of community", and it hosts other civic and community groups and meetings, manages a 20,000 square foot community garden, facilitates organized athletic teams, and is a practicing partner of the Delaware Prevention Coalition.
The Bellevue Community Center is a wholly entrenched and historically integral institution in the community, which includes neighborhoods that can be described in the range from affluent to middle- and working class, to low- and very-low income, and even at-risk. Over 65% of BCC program participants (approximately 3,250 per year) are from low- to very-low income families, mostly residing in the Edgemoor Gardens and Edgemoor Terrace neighborhoods.
