Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, food banks and meals sites in our community have stepped up to support low-income families. As a Summer Associate with United Way of King County, you will be assigned to a food bank or meals site, where you’ll use your skills and experience to support critical anti-hunger work. You will prepare and serve meals, pack boxes of food, engage with community members, and conduct grassroots community outreach to get the word out about available resources. You can expect to deliver meals directly to families’ doors at an apartment complex, serve Grab and Go meals at a park or community center, or distribute groceries to families at a neighborhood food pantry. As part of a federal program, you will ensure that the policies & procedures are followed, meals are accurately counted and inventoried, and food is prepared safely. You will gain experience working directly with the community and in support of a respected and influential nonprofit. Training will be provided in site management, marketing, family engagement, and data tracking – hard skills that will make your summer work influential on your resume. Serve in your community with placements in Seattle, Tukwila, Renton, Auburn, East King County, Kent, or Federal Way. The United Way team is paying close attention to the COVID-19 outbreak. AmeriCorps service, including serving at a food bank or meals site, fills a critical need in our community and is considered essential work. This is a community-facing position, and members of our team will be required to serve on-site. In this position, you may have direct contact with other team members and members of the community. United Way is following all guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and the Washington State Department of Health regarding social distancing. We are eager to support you in having a safe and impactful AmeriCorps term.
