Live United at Microsoft supports United Way of King County's mission of working toward a racially just community where people having homes, students graduate, and families are financially stable.

This group was established to build an engaged community for Microsoft employees living in the Seattle and King County area, organized by the Live United at Microsoft Committee.

The Committee organizes volunteering, networking, and fundraising events – held virtually, on campus, or nearby, and only for Microsoft employees – and communicates Live United events – held all across King County and open to anyone.

As a reminder, anyone can be a member of the Live United group! There are no requirements to join and Live United events are still open to all, though we encourage you to donate and become part of our Giving Communities to further your impact.

Food sorts are a great way for employees to learn about teamwork and the importance of community involvement and gain further knowledge about Second Harvest’s food recovery programs. We are currently delivering enough food for over 30,000 meals every day. Often, the food donations arrive in large bins which need to be sorted into smaller boxes for our recipient agencies across the GTA. We need volunteers in our warehouse to help sort that food.

There is a separate room for volunteer food sorts at our new HQ and COVID-19 protocols will be in place (New Second Harvest HQ in Etobicoke, as well as our current HQ in North York).

Volunteer at select Loblaws to collect turkey and protein donations to Squash Hunger (Toronto).
