The Family Housing Network Safe Parking Site Program is looking for groups and/or individuals who would like to pack Personal Care Kits for families and single adults who are currently unhoused and living in their cars.

Residents staying at the Safe Parking Site have access to bath and shower facilities but frequently don't have their own personal hygiene supplies. Personal Care Kits are a great resource for folks who need essential items like shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, deodorant, shaving supplies and dental care products, and who don’t have a ton of space to store supplies in their vehicles.

Volunteers would need to supply their own materials which can be purchased in bulk through hospitality supply companies or through online distributers like Amazon.

Personal Care Kits generally include these types of items:

·         Travel size shampoo and conditioner

·         Travel size soap or bodywash

·         Travel size deodorant

·         Toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss

·         Shaving cream and a razor

 Helpful “bonus items” include things like bath poufs or washcloths, nail brushes, plastic combs, hair brushes and nail clippers. Feminine hygiene products like tampons, maxi-pads and personal care wipes are always greatly appreciated.

If you would like to make Personal Care Kits or have a group that would like to make kits with you, please contact meganed@ccsww.org or call 253-365-4111. Thank you!

This unique volunteer experience provides valuable tools for navigating crisis and conflict by empowering and supporting survivors in the aftermath of abuse and trauma. Our volunteers often refer to their service with us as life changing. We are a small team of individuals from diverse backgrounds who embrace our mission of health, justice, and hope.

The Sexual Assault and Family Trauma Center, a program of Lutheran Community Services Northwest, hosts Spokane's only Certified and Accredited Community Sexual Assault Program (CSAP). Our program provides the following services confidentially and free of charge:

Our volunteer advocates assist survivors via a 24-hour support line that can be directed to volunteers at home (no need to sit in a call center) and medical advocacy, which is provided to victims in person at area hospitals when requested.

As a non-profit, we rely on our volunteers to provide services to survivors outside of business hours. We provide a comprehensive 40-hour training and certification free of charge, as well as ongoing supervision and 24-hour support for all our volunteers. We invest in our volunteer staff and in turn, we ask for a one-year commitment of service and four evening or weekend shifts per month. Applicants are thoroughly screened and vetted for service.

Core training is a 40-hour total class teaching a foundational understanding of sexual violence and basic skills for new sexual assault service providers. Core training is a certification that is required by the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy to work as a victims' advocate in Washington state. Our next training will be held in October 2026.

At U-District Mentoring, we believe that everyone has something to offer as a mentor. It doesn’t take much to greatly impact a child's life. By showing up consistently, for four hours each month, you can help to decrease depression symptoms, increase self confidence, and encourage higher educational goals for your mentee. Forming these relationships and expanding a child’s horizons can be one of the most rewarding experiences.

Unlike other mentoring programs, we don’t have a waitlist of children. Instead, we intentionally match the mentor and the child based on interests and experiences. Hoping to be matched with a child that likes to paint or play sports? With the help of school counselors, we work to find that perfect match. 

The commitment level is easy, even for the busiest of people. You can create the schedule and get to plan each outing!

Ready to make an impact on a child's life and your community?

Help feed the women who call Jubilee Women's Center home! In this moment when the cost of food keeps rising and SNAP benefits are shrinking, Monday Melas have become one way we meet the women who call Jubilee home exactly where they are. Many of our residents are balancing full course loads, multiple jobs, and long commutes. They are doing everything they can to build stability, yet the hours between classes and shifts do not leave much space for grocery trips or waiting in food bank lines. Having a fresh, ready meal to come home to at the start of the week helps ease that load. Leftovers can stretch into lunches or quick dinners later in the week, offering both nourishment and a sense of calm in the middle of so much uncertainty.

If you enjoy cooking and want to share your skills, sign up to prepare and drop off a community meal. Your support helps ease the daily load for the women who are working hard everyday to rebuild stability in their lives.
