Volunteer: Donate Sandwiches, Snacks & Sacked Lunches

Help Tacoma’s unhoused neighbors one sandwich at a time!

Want to volunteer but prefer to do so offsite? Have a youth group that's too young to serve onsite? Either way, we have you covered!

Nativity House Shelter needs volunteers to make and donate sandwiches or snacks packs that can be easily handed out to community members experiencing homelessness.

Nativity House Kitchen serves as a primary Hilltop "food hub" with meal deliveries going out Monday-Saturday to our sister sites serving unhoused adults and families.

Sandwich donations are used at Nativity House Shelter, the Stability Site, and at the Family Housing Network Safe Parking Program (Holy Rosary Church).

Nativity House Shelter is staffed 24/7. Please call 253-500-8090 when you arrive to drop off sandwiches/snack. Donations can be dropped off at the Nativity House Kitchen Loading Dock.

Quick Facts:

No act of kindness is ever too small. Every sandwich feeds someone in need. Labeling is an essential part of food safety. Please mark food donations with the date made and type of sandwich or food item. This is helpful in alerting guests about common food allergens (i.e. wheat, peanuts, etc.).  Ziploc style bags do a great job at keeping sandwiches fresh and make them super easy to distribute.

Have questions? Contact meganed@ccsww.org or call 253-365-4111.

Volunteer: Senior Citizens Card Writing Volunteer (service hours included)

SCF Volunteers are the reason we are able to make the impact we do to seniors across the nation. Volunteers write cards that make seniors excited about their day! Senior Care First runs solely because of the support we receive from our volunteers.

At Senior Care First, we believe that any sized effort to make a difference is a difference nonetheless. Making cards for seniors have such a huge impact on their days. Volunteers like YOU help them feel a little less alone each day. This effort started with small motivational cards for senior citizens to help them get through this day, and has grown to include seasonal cards for the holidays.

Writing cards for seniors is not only to put lighten up the days of seniors but also to let them know there is a support system outside of their homes filled with loving young members of their community. There is no specific way to make the cards since YOU, the volunteer, have creative liberty. However, we encourage volunteers to use bright colors and inspiring messages to share love for the seniors. We have heard several positive messages from senior homes after receiving cards from SCF. From writing general motivational and inspiring cards to holiday related cards, we give them all.

Volunteer: Charity Calls For Volunteers To Write Christmas Cards To People Who Are Lonely

Loneliness at Christmas has always been a particularly prevalent issue, but no more so than in 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic ripping families apart.

So, we thought it was important to find a way to reach out to those in need this year - introducing The Angel Card Project.

Founded in the US by volunteer Mark Martin, the organization encourages volunteers to sign up to write as many cards as they wish from a database of lonely individuals, nominated by the public.

These could be elderly people, alone because of the pandemic, army veterans or simply people who had fallen on hard times and found themselves without a support network.

And the idea of the project was to encourage "sending love, one Christmas card at a time".

Our hearts. First started in 2001, the project originally only had 20 volunteers and ran on a very small scale.

But now its amassed thousands of supporters from countries across the globe, all of whom want to pick up their pens and offer their support to the cause.

Last year, they sent out a whopping 71,000 Christmas cards, and they hope to surpass this number next month.

 

To sign up, all you have to do is put your name and email into the website: www.theangelcardproject.com and you'll be contacted.

To learn more, visit: https://www.theangelcardproject.com/volunteer-to-send-cards; https://www.facebook.com/angelcardproject/

Prepare and send sponsorship packets and bi-annual updates to sponsors via mail. 

Ensure timely communication with sponsors about their child's status and any updates (i.e. child turns 18 and moves out, family re-integration, or adoption).

Volunteer: Help New Parents - Become a PEPS Group Leader!

PEPS is a non-profit organization that connects parents to strengthen families and build community through parent peer-support groups. 

PEPS groups meet weekly and are facilitated by a PEPS-trained Leader. Each meeting allows parents the opportunity to share the week's concerns, successes, issues, and joys as well as time for a discussion on topics related to parenting and children (sleeping, feeding, adjusting to parenthood, etc.) The PEPS program model is based on the 5 Protective Factors from Strengthening Families, which help build resilient families, positive connections and support for parents, and reduce negative outcomes, such as abuse and neglect. 

98% of PEPS groups are facilitated by volunteers who are deeply rooted in our community and passionate about supporting new parents through the first critical months of life with a new baby. Over 4000 families rely on PEPS volunteers each year.

PEPS facilitators are compassionate, empathetic, resourceful, and real. They don't have all the answers, but they are passionate about helping parents, generating ideas, finding information, and building neighborhood communities together.

Some leaders give back as a way of honoring their own PEPS experience. Many are new to PEPS. All tell us they find great joy and satisfaction in helping new parents connect and share through their PEPS groups.

We appreciate warm, sensitive communicators, who are accepting of varied child-rearing practices and diverse lifestyles. Interest in early childhood development, experience in education or facilitation, previous PEPS group participation, or being a parent yourself are welcome pluses.

Groups meet for 2 hrs each week in the daytime [10-:30 - 12:30] or in the Evening [6:30 - 8:30], the same day each week for 12 weeks. Leaders commit to working with their group for 12 consecutive weeks, fewer if you choose to co-lead with a friend, spouse, partner, or colleague. PEPS provides specialized training and group leaders have access to experienced PEPS staff mentorship and a wealth of resources online.

We currently offer virtual, in-person and hybrid groups to families. Groups that start virtually will remain virtual for the entirety of the group. To stay up to date with developments, visit our COVID-19 news page - https://www.peps.org/about/news/covid-19-peps-updates

It’s our job to help you have a wonderful, fun, and rewarding experience as a leader. We’ve designed lots of resources and provide training and support all along the way.
