GET VOLUNTEER TICKETS HERE https://www.facebook.com/events/390354801894015/ The Evergrey isn't just about bringing you the top news stories of the day. We're committed to helping you discover new ways to get involved in your city and make a difference. One of the things we've heard our readers and members ask for is more volunteer opportunities. So, one Saturday a month, we’ll be joining forces with a local nonprofit that’s doing amazing work in the Seattle area. We’ll get our hands dirty — and get to know each other better — while we support the mission of these great organizations. In November, we will be heading to Westside Baby in the South Lake Union neighborhood for an afternoon of supporting their efforts. WestSide Baby distributes diapers and gently used children’s items, including clothes, toys, books and safety equipment, free of charge to families in need by partnering with social service agencies. Last year they served about 35,000 children in western King County by working with over 110 service agencies such as food banks, public health clinics, refugee resettlement organizations, churches and many others. When we get there, we will be sorting donations, filling orders for children, bundling diapers, and packaging toys. Volunteer space is limited to accommodate each organization’s specific needs and tasks, so sign up quick to reserve your spot. We’re excited to see you out there as we work together to live like we live here and give back to our city.
