Opportunities for Supporting Shelters on the Eastside
Reclaim’s mission is to help people reclaim their lives. We provide life-changing services to those experiencing homelessness by working with our communities to provide emergency shelter, social services, and connections to permanent housing. We believe deeply in the power of relationships and work to meet people exactly where they are
Our mission: Partnering with men and the community to create a path from homelessness to stable living.
Green Team Volunteers Needed: Being a good neighbor is important to PorchLight. We are looking for volunteers to help us keep our neighborhood clean. The commitment is minimal and flexible. Our staff leads the group, and we work in small groups. We provide all the gear needed: gloves, pickers, and bags. You provide the muscle and the energy! If you are interested, email us at volunteer@porchlightcares.org.

Fall Community Brunch October 17 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm Our brunch is a heartwarming afternoon dedicated to the women we serve. Guests will enjoy a warm meal, fun bingo games, and a “shopping” experience where they can browse seasonal clothing and footwear — plus get pampered with haircuts, nails, and facials. It’s a day of connection, care, and community, made possible by the generosity of supporters and volunteers. Help stock our shopping tables with seasonal clothing, shoes, and everyday essentials so every guest can find something special. Check out our wishlist to see what's needed most. Find more information HERE
Bed Frames & Mattresses: Help us replace bed frames and mattresses at our shelters. Give women a comfortable place to rest and heal. A new bed and mattress is a tangible, and lasting gift that immediately impacts women in our care. More information can be found HERE
Furniture: When women move into housing, they often do not have a lot of belongings and will need help furnishing their new home. We rely on two community partners, Northwest Furniture Bank and St. Vincent de Paul, to help with these items. Please consider donating your furniture to these great organizations.

The Host Homes King County program matches young people ages 12-24 with hosts in the community who can provide the space and opportunity they need to build independent living skills, gain stability, and focus on goal attainment. This program provides much-needed stability for young people who are "almost there", many are already working and close to obtaining housing, and just need a boost. Host families are volunteers from the community who willingly offer a room in their home that provides safe, short-term, and supportive housing to young people who are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. This is a simple and direct way to make an impact on King County's homelessness crisis. Over 1,500 youth and young adults between the ages of 12-25 are homeless or unstably housed within King County. Shelter beds and community resources are limited, leaving the vast majority of young people without access to food or safe housing. Through the Host Homes King County Program you have the opportunity to be a champion for some of these homeless young adults. Host Home FAQ
