SUMMARY:Support Youth and Families at Jubilee Reach
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. \nThe Thrift Store is a huge part of making that work possible\, and every dollar of net profit goes back to the community. If 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). \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Emerging Leaders: Hands-on engagement with kids and the Vietnamese Friendship Association
DESCRIPTION:We can all agree: when all kids – regardless of ethnicity\, religion\, or socioeconomic status – do better\, we all do better. More importantly\, education builds a strong foundation that our community can grow on. \nEmerging Leaders will partner with the Vietnamese Friendship Association to lend a hand in building that foundation. The Vietnamese community in Seattle is a key part of what makes our city ours\, and the VFA is dedicated to making sure it’s a community that thrives. Unfortunately\, recently arrived refugee and immigrant youth face incredible barriers to success and self-sufficiency\, often falling more than a year behind their English-speaking peers in school. \nEmerging Leaders will be working with youth on fun team-building activities throughout the day at VFA’s Culture Fair. Activities include: running booths\, organizing games and activities\, serving food and more. \nClick here to reserve your spot!

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!
