SUMMARY:Volunteer - Help Families Find Free Summer Meals
DESCRIPTION:When school is out\, many families lose access to the free and reduced-price meals their kids rely on during the year.\nThe Free Summer Meals Program exists to help bridge that gap by offering free meals to all youth under 18—no paperwork or sign-up required. In 2023\, over 12\,000 kids per day accessed meals at more than 200 sites across King County. \nTo help raise awareness\, we’re looking for volunteers to join us on June 13 to place yard signs across South King County. These signs will help connect families to local sites where food (and often fun activities) are already available. \nWe’ll start at the Burien Community Center with a short kickoff—then break into groups to head out into nearby neighborhoods. \nHere’s how you can help: \n\n\nBring your car and help transport signs and volunteers along a route. \n\n\nTeam up with coworkers\, family\, or friends—you’re welcome to form your own group. \n\n\nPrefer to walk? We’ll have shorter\, walkable routes available too. \n\n\nThis is a simple but meaningful way to support access to food and information—right in the neighborhoods where it’s needed. \nJoin us to get the word out and help make this resource visible to more families.

SUMMARY:Help Community Projects Get Funded - Volunteer Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that April is National Volunteer Month? \n  \nEach April community organizations gear up for the challenges ahead whether that be pulling weeds to make room for fresh produce\, sorting inventory for free grocery pick up\, or creating gifts for children experiencing homelessness. \n  \nThis year\, organizations are in need of access funding to answer increased demand and United Way of King County is in a unique position to leverage earned dollars through grants\, corporate sponsors\, and individual donors to reward a total of $8\,000 to our partners working to keep people housed\, children feed\, and resources flowing throughout the community. \n  \nLike our partners\, we could use some assistance in reviewing grant applications and rewarding funds to organizations who will triple our impact. Will you help? \n  \nUnited Way of King County is inviting volunteers\, like you\, to select which nonprofit organizations will receive funding to host a volunteer opportunity in April. No prior grant experience is needed—we’ll guide you through the process! \nNote that this is a multiple day volunteering opportunity and participants will need to commit to the following schedule: \n-Session 1: March 10th @6 PM\nJoin us virtually to explore grant-making from the inside out with a community services expert.  A meeting invitation will be sent to all registrants prior to the session.  \n-Session 2 March 15th @11 AM\nReview grants and submit your responses to United Way team.\nJoin us in person (Location TBD) to review applications and help decide which projects receive funding. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Walk with United Way at Seattle Pride Parade
DESCRIPTION:Join United Way of King County in the largest Pride Parade in the Northwest on June 25. Show your pride or support your LGBTQIA2s+ community by showing up for the celebration. We want to see you: giving communities\, donors\, volunteers\, staff\, supporters and friends show up for equality! \n*Staging Announced*\nPride is moving to the afternoon! Staging was announced the morning of June 13 and we are meant to line up between 1:00pm – 1:30pm on the 4th avenue block between Jefferson and the Yesler Overpass.  That means if you had big plans Saturday night\, this timing is great news!  Do note the staging time is required and not recommended. \n \n  \nWe’ll meet you down 4th in the 21st spot of the line up.  This year’s theme is Galactic love so don’t be surprised if you see a couple of star wars helmets or suits. If you don’t know what to wear\, we’ve got you covered with t-shirts for you and your friends and gear to keep cool on a hot day. \n  \nMake sure to bring a water bottle. If you are coming with a little one\, you are welcome to pull them along in a wagon or even equip your younger ones with a set of wheels of their own to make it through the parade – set to end at 3:30pm. \n  \nThere are safety tents along the route to refill on water or step aside if needed. We will have extra swag that you can hand to the audience but be careful not to throw any items. \n  \nParking is LIMITED. We recommend taking transit to the parade or arriving early to find parking outside of the parade route. Plan to  meet during the staging window between 1:00pm – 1:30pm. \n  \nVolunteers will be enjoying themselves\, walking in the parade\, passing out goodies\, and holding the banner from time-to-time! \n  \nDon’t forget to let us know you’re coming and bring a friend! \n  \nThis activity is a volunteer project hosted by pride at United Way of King County. Be watchful of emails from pride@uwkc.org to stay up to date on staging. \n
