SUMMARY:2024 Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Olympia\, WA on Thursday\, February 1st to advocate for the basic needs of post-secondary students. \nAt United Way\, public policy advocacy is one of the key pillars of our work. Each year\, we advocate for legislation that promotes our community’s ability to thrive–especially our Black\, Indigenous\, and other communities of color. We meet with local\, and state elected officials\, and members of Congress—during and outside legislative sessions asking lawmakers to ensure adequate funding streams to proactively create equitable access to a high quality of life and resources for all people. We also participate in coalitions and advocacy groups that meet with legislators and lobbyists so we can learn from each other about the latest work. \nJoin United Way supporters in Olympia for the 2024 Lobby Day\, as we urge policymakers to meet post-secondary students’ basic needs for navigation\, food\, housing\, mental and behavioral healthcare\, and childcare. You will have the chance to learn about Advocacy 101\, learn about this year’s legislative priorities for United Way and the Post Secondary Basic Needs (PSBN) Coalition\, hear directly from student representatives from the Washington Students Association and meet with your district legislators to share your views. \nNo prior advocacy experience is needed. Training and resources will be provided at the event itself. Learn more about our 2024 public policy agenda and sign up today to help build an equitable future for everyone.

SUMMARY:Monthly Volunteer Project: Summer Meals Are Here!
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that for thousands of children the only meal they will consume in a day comes from their school?\nJoin us on May 13 for a monthly volunteer opportunity to support the Free Summer Meals Program\, ran by United Way of King County. \n  \n\nVolunteers will be preparing and packaging outreach materials so that our school districts and community partners can get the word out about free summer meals in our community. This will help raise awareness for families to know when and where they can access free summer meals while school is out.\n\n  \nHunger is  an especially urgent problem as we face the end of federally funded programs for economic recovery and increasing cost of living. UWKC is working to address food insecurity in our community\, which we know is disproportionately experience by BIPOC households due to historic and systemic racism. The Food Security team falls broadly into two categories: \n  \n  \n\nFeeding Our Community\, where we invest in and support the emergency food system to scale innovative strategies to provide dignified and equitable access to culturally specific\, nutritious food.\nEnding Childhood Hunger\, where we work to increase access to sustainable\, federally funded child nutrition programs like School Meals\, Afterschool and Summer Meals\, and Basic Food (SNAP)\, which have historically been under-utilized by kids and families due to systemic access barriers.\n\n  \nMeet Your Volunteer Lead\n“I look forward to seeing you all at United Way for this opportunity to be of service. One fun fact about me is that I love live-music. I try to go to a show at least once a week to stay inspired. Feel free to chat with each other about what shows you have on the calendar. \nVolunteer With Us! \n  \n  \n  \nThis opportunity is for young professionals. By participating you will receive similar opportunities emailed to you bimonthly. Each opportunity supports United Way of King County’s mission to create racially just communities where all people have homes\, students graduate\, and families are financially stable.

DESCRIPTION:Young Professionals are Coming Together to Fight Hunger  during National Volunteer Month\n  \nNow is the time to help our neighbors hit hardest by the recession. For national volunteer month\, we’re hoping to gather 60 volunteers to help prepare meals with Food Lifeline’s Hunger Solution Center! \n  \nFood Lifeline provides nutritious food to 1.37 million people facing hunger and more than 282\,000 meals every single day. Let’s make the biggest impact for hunger relief during April\, National Volunteer Month. Because we need so many volunteers: bring your friends and receive coffee vouchers for your hard work. \n  \nVolunteers will sort and repack nutritious food to feed our neighbors who may be experiencing food insecurity. \n  \n\nMorning shift needs 20 volunteers from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.\n\n  \nMeet Your Volunteer Leads\n \n“Hi\, My name is Kiki Roper! I’m excited to lead the 9am project during national volunteer month and look forward to seeing you at Food Lifeline. A fun fact about me is that I recently became a real estate broker. I’m always curious to know about your favorite neighborhoods in Seattle.”

SUMMARY:Lead United for Equity: Peer-To-Peer Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Fundraisers are hard at work to raise $10\,000 to keep families in their homes this winter and fight food insecurities. We hope you will join us!  \nThis peer-to-to peer fundraiser allows anyone to be a philanthropist and brings the entire Emerging Leaders 365 community together to have a collective impact on hunger & homelessness this winter. \n  \nYou can throw a house party\, lead a boot camp\, host a karaoke night or simply create a fundraiser page to share with family and friends. How you fundraise is up to you and the possibilities are endless. Plus\, the Emerging Leaders 365 committee will be with you throughout the process to make sure your fundraiser is a success! \n  \nWhen you sign up to create your Lead United for Equity page anyone can join in the fun and every dollar counts toward reaching our goal of $10\,000. \n  \n\nIf just 12 of us came together to raise $100 each we could provide a family with weekly home delivery of groceries for a year through our DoorDash partnership.\n\n  \n\nIf just 20 of us came together to raise $250 each we could provide 33 sets of work clothes and shoes for people experiencing homelessness.\n\n  \n\nIf just 25 of us came together to raise $500 each we could aid in increasing access to healthy school meals for 180\,000 students.\n\n  \nCan we do it? Microsoft thinks we can and they have agreed to match each donation up to $10\,000. \n  \nWe will walk you through the process of creating your page virtually on November 22 at 6:00 pm in our Lead United for Equity kick-off. —LET’S DO THIS!
