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.

SUMMARY:Help out at Summer Field Day for kids through our Fuel Your Future program
DESCRIPTION:United Way’s Fuel Your Future work aims to connect kids to nutritious food—during the school year and beyond. We know that summer time can put an added strain on low-income families whose kids receive free and reduced-price lunches during the school year. To help ease the burden—and bring nutritious options to families near their homes—we provide meals and fun learning activities at more than 250 sites throughout King County each summer. Leveraging untapped federal dollars and a generous grant from No Kid Hungry\, we make donor dollars go further. \nWe’re excited to kick-off the free Summer Meals program with a free field day for kids and families at Roxhill park! Volunteers will help provide a welcoming\, interactive\, fun environment for kids and keep them engaged through the day. You’ll be staffing exciting\, hands-on stations including face painting\, a craft table\, an obstacle course\, and more. \nJoin us to provide happy faces and full tummies at our kick-off event. Sign up here.

SUMMARY:NEW: PCHP Graduation Party Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:Looking for something more engaging than a one-time volunteer gig? Want to learn a bit about our funding process – and throw a graduation party for preschoolers? Join our new opportunity to help tiny tots in our Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP) celebrate graduation day. \nPCHP supports parents to become their child’s first\, best teachers so kids start school prepared to learn.
