Opportunities From: United Way of King County

Looking for a volunteer opportunity that is fun and rewarding? Join our Volunteer team! As a Meals on Wheels Volunteer, you will belong to a team committed to helping homebound seniors maintain their health and independence with nutritious food, personal contact, and caring service.

A volunteer is needed to deliver meals Thursday mornings, when one of our weekly drivers is away. Volunteers arrive at the center in Federal Way to pick up meals between 8:00AM and 9:00AM, and deliveries typically take 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Mileage is reimbursable while making deliveries. We are looking for volunteers who are interested in volunteering long term.

Are you typically available Thursday mornings and interested in this volunteer opportunity?  Click "Respond" and contact us for an application to get started!

We believe in the dignity and value of every individual, seeing beyond the circumstances to the human being within, our approach to harm reduction is rooted in compassion and practical support especially in critical areas like Naloxone Access and Needle Exchange. Understanding the complexities of substance use we strive to provide life-preserving resources and services that respect the autonomy and choices of those we serve. Our Volunteers will play a vital role in the preparation, packaging, and distribution of outreach items and care packages to help our community. The work may also require lifting between 30 to 50 pounds of donated items, so volunteers should be physically capable of handling these weights. Additionally, to ensure safety, volunteers are required to wear closed-toe shoes while performing their duties. Can only accommodate groups of up to 5 people. https://signup.com/go/eqjbECA

Because our partner, GetYourRefund (our remote tax prep platform), doesn't generally launch until late into January, the start dates for our remote opportunities are later than other free tax volunteer opportunities.

Our Mission: We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.

Lifelong was founded by volunteers in the '80s in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, delivering meals to folks with HIV. Lifelong has expanded since then and merged with the Northwest AIDS Alliance and Evergreen Health, and we now serve individuals with a wide range of chronic medical conditions including cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease, as well as seniors and folks with disabilities. We deliver medically tailored meals and culturally relevant grocery bags to people's homes primarily in King and Snohomish counties.

In 2024 we delivered 180,000 meals and 35,000 grocery bags to folks in need.

Our Vision: Health For All

Making an impact in your community is easier than you think! Help deliver nutritious, culturally appropriate groceries and medically tailored meals from the Chicken Soup Brigade to our clients who are home-bound and/or living with serious illnesses.

Volunteer driver routes take 60-120 minutes to complete on average (including picking up the food from our home base in Georgetown), you will deliver to around 6-10 clients per route, and we can try to find a route near where you live to save driving time and help you build connections within your community.

We are currently looking for support with the following routes:

Pickup Time/Location: Pick up times are between 9:00am - 3:00pm Monday - Friday at our warehouse in Georgetown. We also have satellite pickup locations in Bellevue on Thursdays and Aubrun on Fridays to reduce your driving time if you live close to those areas. Please ask us about those in your application if you're interested!

Commitment: 1 shift per week for at least 3 months (OK to take time off for vacations and other commitments. Just make sure those dates are communicated to us!)

Qualifications: Must be 18 years old or older, have a driver’s license, and a reliable vehicle with proof of insurance. Training for the role is provided.

Hunger Intervention Program's Senior Meal program prepares meals on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for Seniors. While the majority of meals are served at the Lamb of God Church, a portion are delivered to homebound Seniors in the north Seattle area. HIP is looking for volunteer delivery drivers to deliver meals twice a month on Mondays during the lunch hour.

For this position, we're looking for someone who can commit to a 1.5-2 hour shift every other Monday from approximately 11:30 am-1:30 pm. Volunteers will be asked to use their own vehicle but will be reimbursed for gas. Ideally, we will have a consistent volunteer for this position so that they can become familiar with the route.

This position requires a background check.

The Neighborhood Farmers Markets (NFM) is on a mission to support and strengthen Washington's small farms and producers by creating and operating vibrant, successful neighborhood farmers markets. Our seven markets serve over 165 producers, from vegetable growers and orchardists to tribal fishing families and cider makers. In 2023, they enabled more than $14.5 million in local, sustainably-produced food sales to Seattle residents. The Board is actively working to recruit 2 to 3 new board members this Spring, as well as non-voting committee members to support the mission of NFM and the market community. Standing board committees with non-voting members include Executive, Finance, Vendor and Fundraising. We are looking for board members who possess:

• A passion for Washington state producers and our regional food system

• Prior nonprofit board experience

• Experience in any of following areas: fundraising, board development and governance, finance, small business development, food systems or food retail, community organizing, or real estate

Board Responsibilities: The NFM Board of Directors provides mission-based leadership and strategic governance and sets policies to ensure the organization is run effectively, legally, and ethically. The Executive Director is responsible for recommending and implementing policies and programs, managing the organization and staff, and steering short-term goals.

• Follow conflict of interest, ethics, and confidentiality guidelines

• Farmer Board Representatives additionally approve all requests to the Good Farmer Fund and Market polices

Philanthropic Commitment: We believe the source of our commitment begins within those who are closest to the work, including the staff and board. In order to credibly solicit contributions from foundations or individuals, NFM expects board members to make a personal contribution to the organization and recognizes a wide range of opportunities to do so. Examples of contributions that are meaningful to the organization include

1) contributing to board matching pledges during our annual giving campaigns

2) procuring and donating inkind items for fundraising efforts

3) a financial gift that is personally significant.

Board members are also expected to cultivate support through their networks such as participation in community events, shopping at the markets, or recommending potential sponsors or donors.

Drivers can use their own vehicles, or one among our fleet of North Helpline-branded vehicles, and we provide training for making the pickup.

Grocery Rescue is a weekly volunteer position that requires some training and a long-term commitment.

Help ensure food security for your neighbors by volunteering with North Helpline's food bank in Lake City!

Some neighbors do not have the ability or connections necessary to shop for themselves at our weekly food distributions. To counter these barriers, North Helpline provides home delivery to homebound individuals every other week on Tuesday and Thursday.

We pack on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30am-1:30pm with dietary needs and restrictions in mind. Because of this and the particular needs of some neighbors, attention to detail is a key attribute needed to help pack these boxes. Dietary knowledge for needs such as diabetes, gluten intolerance, and food allergies, as well as the ability to lift up to 30 pounds is also a plus.
