TAP Tutoring

Trinity Afterschool Program (TAP), a literacy tutoring program that has been supporting Bryant Montessori and neighborhood children for 25+ years. The Bryant Neighborhood Center serves as a community hub to link local residents with high quality resources where young minds learn and grow, relationships are formed, and basic needs are met – all while amplifying residents’ vision for the community. TAP is one of the BNC’s core programs and relies heavily on the efforts of our extended BNC community – volunteers like you!

Tutors are invaluable at TAP, and make this program a beacon of hope for TAP kids and their parents. Come be a part of this core program of the Bryant Neighborhood Center! Tutors generally volunteer one hour a week when TAP is in session during the school year. Sign up here!

Community Meal Sponsor

Sponsor a Monday Night Meal

Make a difference in your community — one meal at a time.
Each Monday, our team at the BNC provides an extra community meal for neighbors in need. You, your family, group, or organization can help make it happen by sponsoring a Monday Night Meal!

How It Works:
Work together to plan, shop, and prepare a meal for about 50 people. You’ll assemble the meals at the BNC, and our meal delivery team will handle the deliveries to the local families in need.

It’s a great way to give back, connect, and make a tangible impact right here in our neighborhood. Interested? Please contact Tauti at operations@bnctacoma.org

  • We look to serve a delicious and hearty meal for our unhoused neighbors. A full meal consists of an entree, a starch, veggies or salad, a fruit and water bottle.

  • You can volunteer to be in charge for as much or as little as you want! That can look like planning and cooking a full meal for 50 - or simply bringing in a single item for 50 (like cookies or rice). Tauti can coordinate with you to make it all come together!

  • No, we are only asking for help with the food and water bottles. We have a dedicated team that will package the meal and deliver it out to our housed neighbors.

  • That’s up to you! The idea is that you plan, prep, and cook the food. If you’d like to recruit a team, then they’re welcomed. If you’d like help and don’t have a team to bring, we are happy to coordinate helping.
