UWKC Volunteer Program Specialist, WithinReach

Families in King County are facing a daily struggle to meet their basic needs. Crucial food and health resources exist to support them, but access to these programs often requires navigating a complex system of social services. WithinReach supports low-income families by directly connecting them to wide array of food and health programs - in particular Basic Food, WIC, Medicaid, and Summer Meals. But we know that barriers still exist, including stigma, language, transportation - and have a limited staffing capacity to fully serve the volume of clients who need in-depth support and assistance, which is why building the volunteer capacity at WithinReach is a critical strategy in reaching more individuals and families.
