Items that are pre-portioned and do not need to be cut are easiest for us to serve, but donations like cakes and pies would also be warmly embraced. Batches of at least 30-45 treats are most desirable, so that we can offer at least one to any Member present at the time.

Unfortunately, our military heroes often find themselves alone or feeling homesick during holidays. The mission of Soldiers&#8217; Angels is to make sure no one who serves this country feels unloved &#8211; and that&#8217;s especially true on Valentine&#8217;s Day! You and your family can help by making or purchasing Valentines cards for our military and veteran heroes. Why do we ask for the $1 per card?

It all starts with dignity in the form of a blanket, a hot shower, a home-cooked meal, a warm place to sleep, and friendship. It continues with addiction recovery, one-on-one counseling, and long-term solutions. Our Bring-A-Meal (BAM) program provides meals for men, women, and children while providing a life-changing volunteer experience for community groups. Families can help out in the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>Prepare a meal at a donor kitchen and deliver it to one of our shelters. A\u00a0donor kitchen\u00a0is a publicly available kitchen in a faith-based organization, community center, or another site. The donor kitchen does not need to have a health permit but must have basic facilities such as adequate handwashing, dishwashing, refrigeration, and cooking equipment. It must have a safe water supply, be protected from weather and animals, and be cleaned before food preparation starts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Order food from a restaurant and deliver it to one of our shelters.<\/li>\n<li>Make PB&amp;J sandwiches for our outreach team. Our vans go to the homeless encampments twice a day Monday\u2013Friday and give out roughly 4000 sandwiches a week. These sandwiches can be made in a donor kitchen and delivered to our offices in Rainier Valley.<\/li>\n<li>Run a sock drive or a hygiene package drive. We always give out clothing and hygiene supplies at the encampments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The BAM coordinator can help in arranging the best options for your group.

You can wait until the time is right for you to foster.<\/p>\n<p>Got love to share? Consider becoming a foster volunteer! As a foster volunteer, you make a short-term commitment to nurture one or more animals from the shelter in your home on a temporary basis. For example, some dogs have lingered in the shelter too long and need some respite; and some cats need a break from living in a kennel. Providing time in your home helps them sleep deeply and feel their best selves again. RASKC also offers puppies, kittens, and rabbits for foster care too.<\/p>\n<p>Foster volunteers are given online training, great support, and everything necessary&#8211; free pet food, free medical care for the animal, and a free kennel. When the pet is ready to be adopted, you may choose to: a) Select who the animal will be adopted to within our Adopters Welcome guidelines, b) Bring the animal back to the shelter, or c) Adopt the animal yourself. You can decide when the time is right for you to foster&#8211; on an ongoing basis or just every once in a while. Community service might be available for school (if it is okay with the school). Usually, 1.5 hours is credited for each day an animal is cared for in your home.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Complete a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tk9adibab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001ETQ2dxhULU4ed7XR6GlMUq-G_mgFXOy832yI7JqHs5jUMlsk9OgnaOAoIcaNU6QDOteNG5BX4SCUF8G7KcWcw6_hyuyf3DIqhx1ZPNbzM26CGdkZnc32nKglTB097KYu47grUjTmeyaS0qwaSVha_kBmLqMHXiSo2kdSOjn2pBk4KImdWPYweQ==&amp;c=79uTyAv1HVfUWFxDJSvhzOkvZ3lQyplxo8wJFyTQKmoDyra2zPsTNA==&amp;ch=DTeRq1s5HDBvXhQv8D6MgsdJoZr5BCEPEz2xIKeRTr9QsW03b-VtTg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/tk9adibab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f%3D001ETQ2dxhULU4ed7XR6GlMUq-G_mgFXOy832yI7JqHs5jUMlsk9OgnaOAoIcaNU6QDOteNG5BX4SCUF8G7KcWcw6_hyuyf3DIqhx1ZPNbzM26CGdkZnc32nKglTB097KYu47grUjTmeyaS0qwaSVha_kBmLqMHXiSo2kdSOjn2pBk4KImdWPYweQ%3D%3D%26c%3D79uTyAv1HVfUWFxDJSvhzOkvZ3lQyplxo8wJFyTQKmoDyra2zPsTNA%3D%3D%26ch%3DDTeRq1s5HDBvXhQv8D6MgsdJoZr5BCEPEz2xIKeRTr9QsW03b-VtTg%3D%3D&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1764183841168000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1_PzlATP6eghuUdhm9OHKZ\">RASKC volunteer application<\/a>\u00a0if you are an adult.
