Opportunities From: United Way of King County

Volunteer: Donate a Meal for Women Experiencing Homelessness!

The Sophia Way’s Mission 

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.
