SUMMARY:Conversations for Change with Timothy Snyder
DESCRIPTION:Author of On Tyranny  to On Freedom\, Timothy Snyder has delved into how to resist fascism and where we go from here.\n\nUnited Way is teaming up with Seattle Arts & Lectures to co-present Timothy Snyder\, the acclaimed historian behind “On Tyranny” and “On Freedom\,” on October 26 at Benaroya Hall (S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium). \nFreedom is the great American commitment\, but we have lost sight of what it means. Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power\, argues Timothy Snyder: We think we’re free if we can do and say as we please\, and protect ourselves from government overreach. But true freedom isn’t so much freedom from as freedom to—the freedom to thrive\, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible. \nUse code: UWKC20 for 20% off tickets (all in-person or online tickets\, at any level besides Pay what you Want)  \nUnited Way is committed to making all our events as accessible as possible. When you register\, you’ll have an opportunity to indicate any accommodations you need. Please note that a minimum of two weeks’ notice is necessary to arrange some accessibility needs. If you have any questions\, please reach out to eventregistration@uwkc.org.

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.

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
