HOW YOU CAN HELP

Groups
Giving Tree

At your office, church or anyplace there is a Christmas tree, we will send you Christmas tags. Each tag represents a child and includes a gift suggestion. Just before Christmas, we will arrange to pick up the toys and parents will have the opportunity to shop for gifts for their children at our Toy 'n' Joy Distribution.

Adopt-a-Family Help an entire family all at once. You will receive the sizes of everyone in the family and any special needs information. Items especially appreciated are food the family enjoys (including grocery store gift certificates), clothing, and toys (matched to the ages of the children).
* go to our downloads page for the Adopt-A-Family Application.
Working Together Bring your group down for an afternoon. Help families select food, assist with carrying groceries to their cars and stock tables. (typically takes 2 hours)
Operation Take Out The Seattle University Executive Leadership program (ELP) assists in delivering needed food supplies to those clients who cannot travel to the food bank, and are looking for local volunteer organizations to help.
