SCHOOLS/KIDS
Weekend Food Bags
Help pack weekend food bags for families struggling with food insecurity in Everett schools. It’s a simple, hands-on way to make a meaningful impact in a short amount of time.
School Liaison
We are seeking volunteers to serve as school liaisons who can help keep us informed about the needs of local schools. Liaisons will build and maintain strong communication with school resource officers and school administrators to understand current needs and share information about the relevant programs we offer.
Christmas Outreach
Our Giving Tree Program invites individuals and groups to provide Christmas gifts for children who might otherwise go without. Participants select a gift tag, purchase the requested items, and return them unwrapped, helping ensure each person experiences the joy, dignity, and love of the season. Additionally, volunteers can help with organizing, wrapping & distributing the gifts to recipients.
Homework Club
Support students by providing a safe, encouraging space to complete homework after school. Volunteers help with basic homework questions while building positive relationships with kids. No teaching experience required—just patience, consistency, and a heart to encourage students as they learn and grow.

Holiday Food Baskets
Our Holiday Basket Program provides individuals and families with a special basket of food and essentials during the holiday season. The goal is to help ease financial strain while offering comfort, dignity, and a tangible reminder that they are seen, cared for, and not alone during the holidays. Volunteers assist with putting together and distributing baskets at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
