United Way of King County knows that our neighbors are doing all they can to keep food on the table, but grocery prices since the pandemic have grown too quickly. That means that for too many families, they're struggling with access to food.

United Way supports our neighbors in numerous ways, but one way we help out is by giving snack kits to families in need.

And we need your help!

Bring together your team to make snack kits, and you'll also have an opportunity to learn more about the work that United Way does in the community.

Reach out to Connor Walsh at cwalsh@uwkc.org if you're interested in this opportunity for your team, or if you have any questions!

Considerations:

Please note that there is a cost associated with the materials for the kits, $1,500 for 100 kits.

Please reach out with a minimum of three weeks of planning time so that we can order relevant supplies in time.
