Volunteers will spend time with Vision House resident children - playing games, reading books, doing crafts.

These activities may seem simple, but without individuals to care for and spend time with the children, then the parents cannot attend crucial life skills training classes.

Vision House is a Christian organization. We ask that, even if you do not share our beliefs, you respect them. While we do not have any mandatory spiritual activities for our residents, we do ask volunteers working in direct contact with residents to sign our statement of faith.

Plymouth Housing Group is a local non-profit organization that provides permanent supportive housing at 17 residential buildings that serve about 1,400 residents who were formerly homelessness. We are looking for a few volunteers who are knowledgeable, passionate, and interested in outdoor recreation, specifically fishing. Our building staff want to take a group of residents on a day trip to leisurely fish and enjoy time outdoors together. We are looking for a small group of volunteers to lead the trip by choosing the location, providing some gear (a few residents have limited gear), helping residents and staff learn how to fish, and assisting with transportation. We can provide some transportation as well. This would be very relaxed as some of our residents have mobility and health limitations. Ideally the fishing location would be 20-30 minutes from downtown Seattle and not involve any hiking. 

Volunteers must understand and align with Plymouth's mission and values of harm reduction and housing first. Many logistics will be figured out closer to the summertime.

Volunteer to:

Neighborcare Health's governing Board of Directors volunteer their time to set and oversee the policies, strategies, and performance of the organization. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), the majority of Neighborcare Health’s governing board members must be patients who use our services. This is incredibly important, as board members set the course for our future, and patient board members ensure that the patient perspective is front and center.

About Neighborcare Health

At Neighborcare Health, we believe everyone deserves a place to call their health care home, where a team of medical, dental and mental health professionals work in collaboration with each patient to develop a personal health improvement plan.

We are one of the largest providers of primary medical, dental and behavioral health care services in the Seattle area serving low-income and uninsured families and individuals, seniors on fixed incomes, immigrants, and people experiencing homelessness. Each year we care for nearly 60,000 patients at our nearly 30 non-profit medical, dental and school-based clinics. We ask everyone to pay what they can, but no one is turned away due to inability to pay. 

Our clinics are located in neighborhoods where health disparities are the greatest, and our care teams, who speak over 55 languages and dialects, are as diverse as our patients.

No matter who you are, or where you come from, regardless of your insurance, income or immigration status, you are welcome at Neighborcare Health.

Learn more about Neighborcare Health at neighborcare.org. 

Neighborcare Health is one of Seattle’s largest community health system, or Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Our focus is to provide care for low-income and uninsured individuals and families. For 55 years, Neighborcare Health has served people in Seattle and King County’s who face barriers to health care, ensuring a healthy and safe city for all.

Today Neighborcare Health serves 60,000 people per year, who access care through almost 30 medical, dental, and school based sites as well as programs in homeless shelters, on the streets, and in supportive housing.

Neighborcare Health has been steadily increasing its philanthropic presence, and continued fundraising success is necessary to grow services for the quarter million low-income people not yet served by a health center in King County.

Additionally, potential changes in federal policy may threaten Neighborcare Health’s ability to maintain current levels of service. In this worst-case scenario, we are confident the community will stand up to support our work and our neighbors. But we know we must increase our fundraising capacity to match the need.

While most non-profit boards are recruited for fundraising capacity, Neighborcare Health’s board is required to have 51% or greater consumer representation. While this provides authentic patient experience, it also results in a board not optimally suited to fundraise.

To strengthen our relationship to the philanthropic and business communities, Neighborcare Health is considering creating a 509 support organization, the Neighborcare Health Foundation.

THE NEIGHBORCARE HEALTH FOUNDATION

Purpose: Work closely with Neighborcare board, leaders, and staff, to ensure Neighborcare Health has adequate financial resources to fulfill its mission.

Commitment: Three-year terms with option to renew. The committee will meet 8 times per year (2nd Wednesday from 9 am – 11 am at Pacific Tower).   Board members can expect to devote from 2-4 hours/month to board business.

Membership: 10-13 Board Members to grow fundraising with an emphasis on major and corporate gifts.

Expectations: Volunteer Board Members will help champion Neighborcare Health by initiating and cultivating relationships with donors and potential donors and will advise staff on development strategy. Members are expected to:

Over 1,500 youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 are homeless or unstably housed in King County. Shelter beds and community resources are limited, leaving the vast majority of young people without access to food or safe housing.

Through the YMCA Host Homes Program, you have the opportunity to be a champion for some of these young adults facing who are facing homelessness.

Host Homes is a 6-month transitional housing program that matches young people ages 18 - 24 who are at risk of experiencing homelessness with caring hosts in the community who can provide the space and opportunity young adults need to build independent living skills, gain stability, and focus on goal attainment. While enrolled, young adults receive 1-on-1 case management support as well as access to wrap-around services through the YMCA Social Impact Center.

Hosts are volunteers in King County who want to make a difference in the life of a young person. They offer a room in their home that provides safe, short-term housing to a young adult who needs support to focus on housing, employment, education, and/or other stabilizing goals. Hosts receive guidance and support from our Team every step of the way.

It is important to us that young people have the opportunity to be matched with host families that fit within their cultural orientation and individual lifestyle. We are searching for host families that come from various backgrounds and experiences. Host families may be single, married or partnered and represent a wide range of ethnicities, religions, sexual identities, cultures, etc.

One common trait that all host families have is their passion, commitment and dedication in making a positive difference in the lives of young people.

WHO CAN BE A HOST HOME PROVIDER?

Families who want to give back to their community and serve as a support for a young adult experiencing homelessness may be interested in joining the YMCA Host Homes program. Although Host Homes is a short 6-month commitment, many Hosts and participants find that their connection continues long after their exit. 

Host Homes is also a great opportunity for prospective foster parents who would like to try living with a young person for 6 months before committing to something more long-term.

All hosts must meet the following criteria:

WHAT ARE HOST HOME PROVIDERS' RESPONSIBILITIES?

Host families are asked to:

Once enrolled, Hosts will receive a monthly stipend to offset any expenses associated with having another person in the home.

Please note: Hosts are NOT expected to provide any financial assistance to the young adult - they will work with their Case Manager who will support them with any expressed needs.

If you are already hosting a young adult between the ages of 12 - 24 and are not a parent or guardian, you may be eligible for supports through our Kinship Host Homes model.

Helping us with funding is the fastest way for you to make a difference in this vulnerable population as we grapple with the immediate physical needs of homelessness and hunger.   Online peer to peer fundraisers are a great way to help us to meet those needs right now!  If you are willing to spread the word, tell your networks about us, and help raise awareness- you will make a huge impact!

Visit our website at iwantrest.com, or contact me with questions at lisa@iwantrest.com

In this crisis, the already vulnerable individuals and families whom we serve are facing extreme hardship and difficult survival decisions.  REST is responding with safe spaces for survivors to rest, food and basic necessities, and rental assistance.  But the need is well beyond our budget!  

Many of our clients, who have successfully gotten out of the sex trade, are now losing the jobs they fought so hard to get.  They need your support with food and rent assistance.  We know that times are challenging for all.  We know that many people who want to give may not be able to right now- and that is ok.  

But if you can give right now, please do.  Grocery cards and Orca cards are any easy way to make sure that our clients have access to food and expand the area in which they can work.  Help us offer hope to victims of sexual exploitation.  Your support can make a world of difference in someone's life, and possibly keep them from being homeless once again at the end of all of this.  Email me at lisa@iwantrest.com if I can answer any questions for you!  Thank you!!

Finished masks can be delivered/mailed to us at:

Attain Housing houses and supports with case management services 37 King County families transitioning from homelessness in apartment homes in Kirkland and Bellevue. We also keep housed Eastside families at risk of eviction by providing rental assistance. For 31 years, we have served as a staple on the Eastside helping families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

The COVID-19 crisis has hit the most vulnerable neighbors in our community the hardest. Clients in Attain Housing's safe and supportive transitional housing program are all extremely low-income, living on an average annual salary of about $10,000. Our Stable Home clients are also low- to moderate income, and 2 of every 5 are disabled.

 Donating is the fastest way for you to make a difference as we grapple with the impact of the Coronavirus. If you would also like to give your time, we would love to have the help.

Immediate needs:

Eviction prevention: As low-wage workers in East King County are sent home from their jobs with no pay, or need to stay home with children whose schools or day cares are closed, Attain Housing's Stable Home program keeps them housed with immediate funds to help cover their rent. Help your vulnerable neighbors with a donation to Stable Home.

Transitional housing: Attain Housing families are struggling to pay their rent, utility, transportation and food costs due to layoffs, reduced hours, and for many, the need to stay home with children whose schools or day cares are closed. Each household pays a rent based on 30% of their monthly income or at least $150. The average rent paid is $365 per month.  Our case managers are helping their clients manage their stress, connect to resources, and if possible, add more hours at a different job. Your donation immediately helps these families transitioning from homelessness.

For 31 years, Catholic Community Services Issaquah Meals Program (IMP) has been serving hot, nutritious dinners to anyone in need, no questions-asked, Mondays-Fridays. Since COVID-19 entered our communities, IMP remains open and will continue to provide hot meals and a warm, dry space for those who have nowhere to go. However, we anticipate more individuals and families utilizing our services during this challenging time.

To help us accommodate for the anticipated growing need, we are asking financial contributions and also for supplies such as paper plates, paper cups, napkins, hand sanitizers, and disinfecting wipes for our dedicated volunteers that serve meals each night for proper and safe clean up. If you are interested in serving meals during this time or to coordinate supplies drop off, please contact Griffin Cole at 425-679-0342. We understand it is not possible for everyone to serve meals due to health concerns, we always appreciate meal donations. Please note that meals must be prepared in a commercial kitchen under supervision of someone with a food handlers permit. Additionally, there is an application process for those who would like to serve meals. 

The fastest way to help our efforts is to make a financial contribution to help support our efforts. Donations can be made on our website:

To help end homelessness for women in King County by providing shelter, case management, life skills training, social services, and housing (transitional, supportive, and permanent).

The Opportunity

Every day, we serve three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) to nearly 100 women who come to our shelters. The meals are provided by our generous community and we are deeply appreciative of their support.

Providing a meal requires no long-term commitment, training, or background check. All you have to do is sign up online for an available date, then cook (or buy) a meal and drop it off at our location. This is a great opportunity for individuals, families, groups, who love to cook! You can be a one-time or a regular donor.

The organization is founded on the practice of self-management, acknowledging and promoting the innate dignity of all people. 

Vision House is a Christian social service agency based near Seattle, Washington. Since 1990, Vision House has provided housing, support services and child care for homeless families with children.

Volunteers will spend time with Vision House resident children on Thursday evenings from 6-7:30pm - playing games, reading books, doing crafts. All activities will be planned in advance so volunteers will show up each week and have fun. These activities may seem simple, but without individuals to care for and spend time with the children, then the parents cannot attend crucial life skills training classes.

Vision House is a Christian organization. We ask that, even if you do not share our beliefs, you respect them. While we do not have any mandatory spiritual activities for our residents, we do ask volunteers working in direct contact with residents to sign our statement of faith.

Volunteers must also fill out all necessary paperwork and attend training/orientation with the volunteer coordinator and child advocate. CPR/First aid training is a plus. The minimum age for this opportunity is 16 years and older.  

Once a month, and twice a month in the winter, we travel to wherever people are staying and provide food, hot beverages, warm clothing, bus tickets, basic first-aid, survival needs, and information on services. We also provide food and basic veterinary care for our client's pets where possible. We think of ourselves as somewhat of a delivery service for our clients.

We meet for outreach on the second Saturday of every month between April and December and the second and fourth Saturdays of every month from January through March. Outreach runs from 630am until approximately 11:00am and volunteers need to be available to attend for the entire outreach unless they have made arrangements to leave earlier ahead of time.

Your time volunteering would be spent preparing food and supplies, loading vehicles, and driving/hiking the supplies directly to where our clients are living. While not required, we thrive on having a group of committed volunteers who are able to attend outreach on a consistent basis.

Volunteer Requirements:
-18+ years of age due to the sensitive nature of our work
- Able to hike long distances
- Able to lift up to 25 pounds
- Sturdy Boots
- Fluent in Spanish helpful, but not required
- Car helpful, but not required
- Experience working with the homeless helpful, but not required
- Sense of humor

God's Li'l Acre is a hygiene and community kitchen program in the Lake City Neighborhood of Seattle. As of February 2019, we began receiving City of Seattle Funding to expand hours of operation to be open from 9am - 4pm. Morning or afternoon volunteers are welcome, with a particular interest in volunteers from NE Seattle. If volunteers live in the area served by the day center, neighborly relationships and connections with people experiencing homelessness carry over into everyday interactions - in which we are no longer strangers to one another. 

Activities at GLA include: personal storage, community kitchen, clothing depot, laundry, showers, phone, mail distribution, internet, resources, referral and companionship. The number of guests who visit GLA range from 50-60 people. Guests generally range in age from 35-60 years, who are typically single male from a variety of backgrounds. Many guests could be described as chronically homeless with numerous challenges that make it difficult to find housing and employment. Although challenges may include disability, anger management, experiences of abuse, broken relationships, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and other mental illnesses; volunteers and staff at GLA seek to affirm the creativity, resiliency, generosity, skills, assets and giftedness of each person. The center becomes a place of peace and respite amidst the chaos of peoples lives. In the dynamic of comings and goings of people, the staff of volunteers, interns and community ministers are witness to many experiences of grace. The center practices modalities of person-centred, trauma-informed companionship with persons experiencing homelessness.

Global Acts of Compassion (GAC) is searching for a new Board of Directors as we grow and transition our founders into other staff roles. Volunteering on a nonprofit's Board is a great way to add to your nonprofit resume, learn about the industry, and REALLY make an impact in the world by serving as an integral part of an organization.

This will be our third year running, and we have come along way in that time. We have hosted 4 Community Free Markets where people take or leave belongings and food for one another, learn about sustainability, and engage with their community in an atmosphere that promotes acceptance and equality all the while.

Evergreen Treatment Services is a private nonprofit that has been in operation since 1973. We provide medication assisted treatment to 2800+ adults with opiate use disorders in several locations across western Washington. ETS also operates the REACH team which provides street-based, case management and outreach services to 1500+ homeless adults with substance use disorders in the greater Seattle area.

We employ nearly 250 staff and operate on a $20M/year budget.

It is an exciting time for our agency’s transformation.

 Katharine’s Place is a home to 25 families in Seattle’s north Rainier Valley. Our program provides housing to families coming from homelessness, those affected by HIV/AIDS, clients with disabilities, and refugees and immigrants. We work with our tenants to promote stability and self-sufficiency. One aspect of our work is to provide fun activities for our families to participate in. Some of the families have asked that we try and find someone who can come to the building to help the kids with homework since most of the family's are English as a second language.
