Support We Are In Partners

We can all play a role in our communities by volunteering with a local service provider or teaming up to organize drives for much needed supplies like basic hygiene products, socks, and warm weather clothing. Many We Are In partners are working on the ground everyday to help individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness.

Find local volunteer opportunities through United Way King County 
or Seattle Works.
