SUMMARY:Serve a warm meal with YWCA Angeline's
DESCRIPTION:This project has reached capacity! Please join us for another opportunity instead. \nIt seems that lately\, all anyone can talk about is the approaching cold weather\, and here at UWKC it’s no different! As the weather gets chilly\, warm food gets even more comforting – so Emerging Leaders are partnering with Angeline’s to provide homeless women a safe space for a hearty lunch. At Angeline’s\, these women not only have access to meals\, but also to laundry\, showers\, activities and connections to other services. \nAt Angeline’s\, we’ll add a fun touch to the dining room with colorful tablecloths and napkins before serving lunch to guests (usually 100-150 women each day!). It’s also a great opportunity to chat and offer a friendly face to those in need.

SUMMARY:Support young 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. Email Cassandra to reserve your space today.

SUMMARY:Eastside Special Project: Prep Jubilee REACH Thrift Store
DESCRIPTION:Far too often\, parents in our community have to make the choice between working to put food on the table and spending time with their kids. Jubilee REACH helps solve that problem on the Eastside\, where it works to provide access to assistance programs and youth services. They offer mentoring\, tutoring\, and over 20 after-school clubs and sports at various Bellevue public schools. The Thrift Store is a huge part of making that work possible\, and every dollar of net profit goes back to the community. \nIf you’ve ever worked in retail\, you know the drill: we’ll be in the front of the house (re-stocking the floors and shelves\, organizing racks and other household items\, and helping customers) and also the back (hanging clothes\, sorting through donations\, cutting price tags\, tagging prices on merchandise and receiving donations from donors). Email Cassandra to sign up and help out after work!

SUMMARY:Provide for those in need at St. Mary's Food Bank
DESCRIPTION:For almost 75 years\, the Food Bank at St. Mary’s has been helping the hungry in the Central District and beyond. Today\, the Food Bank provides groceries to 6\,700 people per week through the Walk-In Program\, when anyone is welcome to come in and choose what they need for the week. In addition\, the Food Bank delivers food to those in need who are unable to leave their homes and provides a “No-Cook” Program for those who are currently experiencing homelessness and don’t have access to cooking facilities. \nEmerging Leaders will be providing direct service in the Food Bank\, helping those who have come to shop for groceries – a friendly face and a helping hand can go almost as far as a bag of food for those in need. A few volunteers will also put their art talents to good use\, helping the Food Bank create signage for their upcoming Gala fundraiser. \nJoin us to lend a hand and a smile – email Cassandra to sign up today!

SUMMARY:Help get healthy food to hungry kids with the Emergency Feeding Program
DESCRIPTION:This project is full! Please join us for a different awesome volunteer opportunity. \nThere are a million people in Washington at risk of going hungry every night\, and the Emergency Feeding Program aims to alleviate hunger by making nutritious food available when and where people need it. At the King County facility\, donations are collected\, sorted\, and packaged into fifteen different types of food bags – from diabetic to Asian or Latino or East African to baby. Then\, the Emergency Feeding Program partners with agencies around the county to deliver the food bags and ensure that every family\, no matter their financial situation\, has access to nutrition. \nWe’ll be lending a hand in various ways – labeling\, tapping and cleaning collection barrels; sorting food in the warehouse; maybe even some administrative assistance to help ensure operations are running smoothly! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Get ready for back-to-school with the YWCA!
DESCRIPTION:This project has reached capacity! Please join us for another opportunity instead. \nThe YWCA works to eliminate disparities that disproportionately affect women and families of color by opening the doors to opportunity and self-sufficiency. By empowering people how to navigate education\, health care\, and housing\, the YWCA is helping to ensure all communities in King County are equal – and that all kids in King County have an equal chance at success. The key to that success is education – and that’s where Emerging Leaders come in! \nWhen you’re young\, nothing says “back to school” more than sharpened colored pencils and that new-crayon smell – we’ll be stuffing and sorting school supplies so all kids are able to experience that joy come September.

SUMMARY:Help end childhood hunger with United Way's Food Invasion
DESCRIPTION:This project has reached capacity! Please join us for a different volunteer project instead. \nFor a lot of kids\, the end of school means the end of homework\, of finals\, of waking up early. For the thousands of King County kids who rely on free and reduced lunch\, though\, it also means the end of reliable meals. United Way of King County is working to end summer hunger through Summer Food Invasion sites around the area\, where kids can come to play and grab breakfast or lunch – or both! \nAs part of the program\, United Way is hosting Field Day events throughout the summer when the community can come tour sites and engage in fun activities with the kids. Those take a lot of prep – and that’s where Emerging Leaders come in! We’ll be creating additional games\, making decorations and putting together kits for groups and kids who visit the site. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:The residents of the Pat Williams Apartments are all previously homeless single adults who are working towards building community with their neighbors in a sober living environment – and we’ll be joining them for games\, activities and snacks to help achieve that goal. \nThis property\, owned by Plymouth Housing Group\, is the organization’s first ever sober-intended building\, so we’ll be working to support the residents in their sobriety and towards meeting their own personal goals. Residents in this building may face other struggles as well – mental illness or a history of trauma – but by providing housing and a community environment\, Plymouth is able to help the residents rebuild their lives. \nThis is a great opportunity to interact with formerly homeless individuals that are now working towards stability and hear their stories.

SUMMARY:Build community stability with previously homeless Seattleites
DESCRIPTION:Game time!! The residents of the Pat Williams Apartments are all previously homeless single adults who are working towards building community with their neighbors in a sober living environment – and we’ll be joining them for games\, activities and snacks to help achieve that goal. \nThis property\, owned by Plymouth Housing Group\, is the organization’s first ever sober-intended building\, so we’ll be working to support the residents in their sobriety and towards meeting their own personal goals. Residents in this building may face other struggles as well – mental illness or a history of trauma – but by providing housing and a community environment\, Plymouth is able to help the residents rebuild their lives. \nThis is a great opportunity to interact with formerly homeless individuals that are now working towards stability and hear their stories. Space is limited\, so email Cassandra to reserve a spot today!

SUMMARY:Volunteer After Work With Rainier Valley Corps
DESCRIPTION:Our partner\, Rainier Valley Corps needs some help for their quarterly event. Join a group of Emerging Leaders to help with room set-up\, work registration\, greet incoming guests\, set up the food\, provide extra sets of hands during the event and clean up once it concludes. \nThe volunteer work itself will be quick\, but very helpful! The best part is seeing and participating in their event. It’s free\, includes yummy food and drink\, and a chance to hear from their Fellows about their experience building communities of color. There are ten RVC Fellows who are matched with community based organizations in Rainier Valley to strengthen the organization’s capacity and help with their community building efforts. The Fellows are a few months into their one-year terms and have great stories to share about the work that they’re doing. \nWe promise it will be interesting and you’re very likely to learn something new about what’s happening in the Rainier Valley neighborhood. The quarterly event is from 6-8 p.m. but your volunteer shift begins before and ends shortly after. If you’re unable to get there at 4\, but could come close to that\, we’d still love to have you. \nEmail Hannah to sign up. We need 10 volunteers! \n
