SUMMARY:Support Westside Baby in keeping children safe\, warm and dry

All in a few hours that will make a big difference to families in need. \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:Rock 'n' Roll volunteering = Supporting United Way - Shift 1
DESCRIPTION:Keep saying you’re going to run a marathon one day? Here’s the next best thing— volunteer with United Way of King County for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and you’ll not only help make one of the biggest marathons in Seattle possible\, you’ll raise funds for United Way programs just by showing up! For every United Way volunteer at the marathon\, they’ll pay it back with a $20 donation to United Way! \nGet to the finish line before anyone else on Sunday to help with gear check\, race timing and ever-important post-race water\, Gatorade and snacks! Or hook runners up at check-in the Friday before with goodie bags\, runner packets and t-shirts. There many ways to help\, so bring friends! It’s fun for groups and grows your impact\, because the more help at the race = more donations to United Way! Running a marathon? Hard. Volunteering at a marathon? Piece of cake. \nNote: we have two shifts to choose from: \nSign up here for the Expo on Friday\, June 8 at CenturyLink Field Events Center to hand out runner packets\, t-shirts\, and goodie bags. \nSign up here for Race Day on Sunday\, June 10 at the Finish Line to help with information\, gear check\, timing\, handing out water\, gatorade\, snacks\, etc.

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. The graduation event is a culmination of months of hard work from parents\, caregivers\, agency partners and of course the little kids themselves.
