SUMMARY:Connect for Good - Fighting Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Take your volunteering and community engagement up a notch with our Connect for Good opportunities. \nDo you have questions about why people are homeless? What our community is doing about the issue? What’s working\, what’s already been tried and what isn’t working? Our next Connect for Good opportunity will give you the chance to get answers to all those questions (and more) so that you can understand contributing factors as well as solutions that are moving people safely into permanent homes. \nOver three weeks (and just three sessions) you’ll learn a ton about the issue of homelessness in King County—including contributing factors and solutions that are working. We’ll also cover how to engage your networks in the fight to end homelessness and then volunteer as a group at the Community Resource Exchange where you’ll get to directly help people experiencing homelessness. \nSessions will be held on Feb. 20\, 27 and March 13. Sign up now. \n

SUMMARY:Pack No-Cook Bags with Pike Market Food Bank
DESCRIPTION:The Pike Market Food Bank is an important resource for people experiencing homelessness in Downtown Seattle. \nFor this project\, Emerging Leader volunteers will be packing No Cook Bags for clients facing homelessness. No Cook Bags contain healthy\, nutritious\, ready-to-eat and non-perishable foods that do not require a kitchen to prepare or store. Food Bank guests wanting a No-Cook Bag do not need to complete any paperwork or have an ID to access the food. To complete this activity\, volunteers will form an assembly line to pack the bags and prepare the work area for the next day’s tasks. This may require some volunteers to lift up to 20 lbs. at a time. Food Bank staff will lead the activity to answer any questions and provide support. \nThis event will introduce volunteers to the unique needs and challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. Staff will provide an orientation to contextualize the activity and a closing reflection on the structural factors related to homelessness and marginalization. Volunteers and staff will discuss how and why marginalized groups are disproportionately represented in the homeless population. During this event\, volunteers will reflect on the challenges people experiencing homelessness face while navigating Seattle’s social service network and how we can make the services more accessible to everyone. \nSign up here to volunteer.
