Your Role is to lead efforts to help raise community awareness about KYRS--to elevate our presence in the community. Just a few hours per week.

Specific Duties:

- Keep updated on all Spokane events such as music festivals, art shows, college events, community gatherings, street fairs, etc. and contact representative about KYRS tabling at these events. Keep an updated list of these events with contact info, dates and times.

- Work with staff and other volunteers to create and update outreach materials for KYRS, such as info posters, tabling material, etc.

- With Membership Director, develop comprehensive and updated contact list of community groups etc. that we can mail to.

Volunteers and  hosts to house volunteers are needed to help families in Spokane area affected by this spring’s flooding.  Now that waters have finally gone down,  the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission are sending flood- experienced Emergency Response Teams (ERT)  to help with muck-out, gut-out and mold mitigation.   They will need housing and other support for their response teams as well as some strong backs and perhaps pick-up or two to haul furniture.

Furniture moving – depending on the client’s storage and space, could be an estimated half to one day effort per household.  We’d partner the volunteers with at least one ERT member that has the project scope details. Could involve moving items to a storage space outside the home or moving within the home to a location out of the muck out/spray areas. If needed and willing, furniture movers could also help with furniture recovery through a mold spray outside of the muck out areas. ERTs can teach onsite how to do.

Overnight Accommodations – we’re asking ERTs to consider seven day (3 on, one off, 3 on), three day or weekend deployment time frames. General areas of work scope look like the North, South and West county areas. Our teams would be very grateful for any level of accommodation support.

ERTs could be asked to deploy within the next week or so.   Any local support will help these experienced volunteers bring needed skills, knowledge and work to our area.

If you, your organization, church or club could provide either moving or housing assistance, please email me at mabullard@gmail.com with what you have to offer, when you are available, and your contact information within the next few days.

"A Matter of Balance" (MOB) is an award winning program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls.  Class participants learn to view falls and fear of falling as controllable, set realistic goals for increasing activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors and promote exercise to increase strength and balance.

The MOB program utilizes Volunteer Coaches to teach the eight two-hour sessions.  Classes are held in a variety of community-based settings and are led by two Volunteer Coaches. 

Volunteer Coaches receive eight hours of training by MOB Master Trainers.  Once trained, Volunteer Coaches are provided with the opportunity to observe MOB classes prior to teaching classes themselves.

The Everybody Counts campaign is essentially a point-in-time census of the homeless population in Spokane. This census is conducted every year during the last ten days in January as is designed to give every federally-funded community a snapshot of homelessness where they live. This is an essential element in our effort to end homelessness, as the data gathered from this census shows us so much more than how many people are homeless in Spokane – we also learn more about who is homeless, why they are homeless, and what barriers they are facing to get out of homelessness, as well as key data points that can impact new programs. With the data from previous years, we can see trends, target areas, and gather information about whether or not our programs are effective. The data from this count also helps us secure funding for future services from state and federal sources.

Volunteering Opportunity:

We need volunteers to pick-up donations from donation drive drop-off locations when requested. All locations are in the Spokane county area with two sites located in Cheney and one in Airway Heights. Own vehicle required to transport donation items to a storage location in the downtown core.

Our Dare to Dream program offers an opportunity to mentor a youth in foster care or youth who has aged-out of foster care (ranging from 15-21 years old). Our mentors are advocates, coaches, teachers, guides, role models, valued friends, available resources, cheerful critics, and career enthusiasts. The heart of the Dare to Dream program is to give foster youth a second chance. Many of the youth we recruit are living in emergency shelters or are homeless. They need the wisdom, advice, encouragement, and community that mentors can provide. As a mentor you commit to meeting with your mentee every other week, set goals, and help them achieve their dreams. The program is a one year commitment; however, it is our hope that these relationships will last a lifetime.

LCSNW Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Program receives refugee youth ages 14-17 and places them into foster homes and group homes in the Spokane area. These youth have fled their countries due to war, conflict, and violence in search of safety and a better life. They do not have family to care for them, so our organization works to find them loving homes and reach their goals for success.

Are you willing to open your heart and home to a foster child? We’ll be honest, being a foster parent can be challenging. At the same time, we hear from many foster parents that they have grown from the experience.

In our LCS Northwest foster programs, we recruit, license and support foster parents. We are here to help foster parents so they aren’t in this alone. Our goal is to help you provide a stable home for youth who cannot live with their families. We recruit parents for two different programs – International Foster Care and Domestic Foster Care.

Foster parents and program staff work together to provide a safe haven to refugee and immigrant children from around the world. Refugee youth will be supported in their work to heal from past trauma while they pursue goals of learning English, getting an education, and preparing for a future of independence. Foster families are asked to make a long-term commitment to care for refugee child placed in their home.

Informational meetings for the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Program are held on the second Tuesday of every month from 5:30-7:30pm at 210 W. Sprague, Spokane WA 99201.  Please contact us to RSVP.

The role of a Refugee Foster Parent is to:

Most foster parents report a positive experience with refugee children. Many say they receive more from their foster children than what they gave.

SAN provides a weekly food pantry for our immunocompromised clients, people living with HIV & AIDS.  On a weekly average, we server about 50 clients.  We established this program last year after a hiatus and have not been able to get connected with 2nd Harvest due to the current crisis.  We work with 2 local non-profits to source food items, but they are even having a hard time getting enough food for their own clients, let alone helping us.  

At this time, we really do not have a need for volunteers to work with our program, but we do need access to foods, especially those rich in protein like eggs, chicken breast, oats, milk, greek yogurt, beans, peanut butter, and fresh fruit and vegetables.  

SAN does have a large chest freezer and access to multiple refrigerators and enough storage to be able to store items.  

If interested and able to donate food items, please let us know.  We are able to take donations at our location with advanced notice since we are not always at the office.  Please reach out via email- support@san-nw.org

Level Up is an after-school program where youth create their future with the support of mentors in a playful, creative community. Participating youth set their own goals for the program and engage with consistent mentors for social-emotional growth and the pursuit of creative aspirations.

Level Up volunteers are known as Mentors and work with a consistent group of 2-3 elementary school students at our Level Up programs. You'll hang out and support students as they work on projects like writing a newspaper article or creating a legend. You don't need to be an expert to be a mentor! However, we welcome our Mentors to add their passions and wisdom to the program.

Volunteer at Audubon Tuesdays and/or Thursdays.
Volunteer at Holmes Wednesdays and/or Fridays.

Fall project: The Newspaper Club produces a student-led newspaper published twice each year. Mentors support students as they investigate topics of their choosing and contribute works ranging from opinion polls, short comics, stories, interviews, and more. Mentors of all backgrounds are invited to support students through the production process. Will you join our press room and help us uncover this year's biggest scoop?

Winter project: Visual arts! Youth become storytellers, creating characters, worlds, and storylines, and bringing them to life through comics, animation, and other forms of self-expression. Mentors use their powers of listening, ideation, and imagination to support students through their creative process (such as developing the characters' backgrounds, drawing them out, or writing up details about their world). Will you join us in our journey to bring these youths' imaginations to life?

Spring project: Summer preview! What's happening around town? Stay tuned for more details.

Time commitment:
Mentors are expected at either cohort from at least 3-5 PM and can choose to volunteer between Tuesdays & Thursdays or Wednesdays & Fridays each week. Two days with either (or each!) cohort is preferred. If you can only do one day a week, we could still use your help! This program runs October to June. A consistent presence is important to build relationships with the kids, but we understand if things come up occasionally!

1 in 8 U.S. Women will develop breast cancer - You can help!

Loucinda D. received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 30s. Chemotherapy treatments and their side effects were rough enough—then she needed platelets, which weren’t immediately available. 

“In order to receive chemo, your platelets have to be above 100,000 and mine were 9,000. I headed to the emergency room for a platelet transfusion, only to have to wait for platelets to be driven to the hospital from two hours away.” 

Blood donors ensure that the one in eight women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer, like Loucinda, don’t have to wait for relief. Platelets, the part of blood that makes it clot, are one of the three components (along with red blood cells and plasma) that each blood donation provides. 

“I could have died without platelets. Platelets are extremely important to cancer patients like me,” says Loucinda. She also received two red blood cell transfusions during her treatment, and has been cancer-free for four years. “Every year that goes by, is one more year to be thankful to be alive!”

Your unique blood type is especially needed at this time to help hospital patients!

Your blood donation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives patients like Loucinda hope – and one less thing to worry about as they fight their disease.

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/

Currently, all orientations will be online through email. Please check your spam folder for missed emails. 

Refreshments: Need for Saturdays

Main job duties will be giving refreshments to donors after their donation. You'll also chat with the donor while watching for adverse reactions. Reactions are rare, but can happen at any time, usually within 15 minutes of donating. We also ask that each table, chair etc are sanitized after each donor, keep the area clean and tidy and restock snacks/juices by end of shift.

The Spokane Municipal Community Court (SMCC) is seeking volunteers for a new case management program. The program is currently still in development and growing day-by-day.
