We are seeking full-time members to be a part of United Way's Summer Meals Program, a program to help children and teens access enrichment activities and healthy meals during the summer.

In King County, 100,000 low-income children and teenagers rely on free or discounted meals during the school year, but only 1 in 5 of them access locally served free meals during the summer. Summer Associates serving meals at libraries, parks and community centers built strong relationships, encourage summer learning, and unlock thousands of dollars for healthy food in their communities.
