Volunteer Opportunity with the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank

The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank will be introducing an additional client service time starting on Wednesday, December 13th, 2017 to help meet the growing needs in our community. IFCB currently offers Monday Night Food and Clothing Bank hours from 5 – 7 pm and we will be introducing additional Wednesday night shopping hours as well.

Client surveys indicate that families would like us to expand our service hours and Wednesday nights appear to be the perfect time to do that. We’re looking for volunteers to work Wednesday nights (4:30 pm to 7:15 pm.) in both the food and clothing bank, and we’re putting this ask out to our entire team. We need your help to make this happen.

If you’re interested in volunteering on Wednesday nights, please sign up online using the volunteer dashboard. HERE is the link to log in and sign-up. Please sign-up today. We’re hoping to fill the first three Wednesday shifts before we post more.

Questions can be directed to:

One Love is working to end relationship violence by educating young people about healthy and unhealthy relationships and mobilizing them in a movement for change. Below is a bit of information about One Love – this short video also provides a helpful overview. One Love was created to honor the memory of Yeardley Love, a UVA senior who was killed by her ex-boyfriend just weeks before graduation. After her death, Yeardley’s family and friends were shocked to learn that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will be in an abusive relationship in his or her lifetime and that young women ages 16-24 are at 3x greater risk. 

Today One Love works to give others the information that Yeardley and her friends and family didn’t have about what unhealthy and potentially dangerous relationship behaviors look like, empowering them to help themselves and their friends. To do this, One Love partners with high schools, colleges, and community groups, to provide digital campaigns and the film-based Escalation Workshop as a catalyst for this conversation.

Check out these One Love Couplets….Couplets are brief animated messages that define the difference between a good relationship and an unhealthy one. If you see 3 or more of these warning signs in your relationship, it’s a problem. Don’t be ashamed to tell someone when #thatsnotlove
