Hello! The Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness is seeking volunteers to sort school supplies, stuff backpacks, help set up and stage operations, and help facilitate backup pickup!

Every year through Project Cool, Coalition members and volunteers make sure that more than 1,800 unhoused students start the school year off right with the supplies they need. This year Project Cool 2026 will serve 1,844 pre-k through 12th grade students in King County schools with backpacks and new school supplies.
