In-Person Volunteer Services Activities

Mayor's Day of Concern

Mayors Day of Concern, October 21st from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is a day where local grocery stores in Sammamish and Issaquah, the Issaquah Food Bank, and partners come together to support our community through a communnity food drive.

We currently have eight volunteers signed up and have been assigned to the Fred Meyer grocery store in Issaquah. If we get more volunteers, we may be able to offer 2-hour time slots. If you are interested in participating, please contact Laura Weber (lauraweber1950@gmail.com) or Julie Dreher (julesdreher@gmail.com) or sign up at our October business meeting.

In addition to the above in-person volunteer opportunity, we continue to support KidVantage (formerly Eastside Baby Corner) by volunteering each month on the third Friday of the month.

Duties typically include sorting diapers and clothing, packing baby wipes, or whatever is requested. The group volunteers from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and often enjoys lunch together afterward. Please contact Laura or Julie (contact info above) if you would like to participate. The next date is October 20th.
