SUMMARY:Support Youth and Families at Jubilee Reach

SUMMARY:Support families with Westside Baby
DESCRIPTION:Pop quiz time!\nQ: How much does an adequate monthly supply of diapers cost per child? A: $70-$100 (that’s up to $1200 per year – just for diapers!)\nQ: How much of that cost is covered by food stamps or other assistance programs? A: $0 \nThose stats make Westside Baby’s work all the more impactful: they’re the only social service agency in the West King County area that collects\, inspects and distributes free diapers\, clothing\, cribs and safety gear for babies and children. In the past sixteen years\, they’ve provided $16.5 million worth of free diapers\, clothing and gear to help more than 195\,000 infants and children. \nWith all of the support Westside Baby provides to families\, we thought it only fair to support Westside Baby! Emerging Leaders will spend a few hours sorting donations of clothing and toys\, filling orders\, creating clothing bags\, and bundling diapers. \nClick here to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:Help FareStart support our community
DESCRIPTION:Many of you know FareStart for the culinary training programs that they have\, which help people develop the work and life skills they need to have lifelong careers. Unfortunately\, gaining work skills are not the only barrier to employment that FareStart students experience. Another barrier to employment\, especially in the food service\, is hygiene. \nFor this project\, Emerging Leaders will be creating laundry and hygiene kits which FareStart will be distributing to their students. This will help knock down yet another barrier to employment\, and help set these students on the path to self-sufficiency. \nClick here to reserve your spot!

SUMMARY:Prepare a meal with FareStart
DESCRIPTION:Are you a seasoned chef? Pride yourself on that amazing homemade pho? Can you barely tell which end of the knife is which? \nNo matter which of those questions you answered “yes” to\, we still want you to come prepare a meal with other Emerging Leaders in the FareStart Community Meals kitchen! FareStart is an amazing (and delicious) partner of United Way’s – but this time\, instead of them bringing food to us\, we’re bringing helping hands to them. \nPoverty is a perpetual cycle—especially for people who are homeless\, in recovery\, or previously incarcerated. For them\, finding and keeping a job is a huge struggle. FareStart helps people overcome the barriers to employment by developing the work and life skills they need to have lifelong careers. In turn\, their amazing talent and hard work fuels the organization’s social enterprise restaurants\, cafes\, catering and community meals programs. \nThis event is full but you can sign up for another Emerging Leader event instead.
