In-Reach Volunteers (Must be 18+)
Teen Feed’s version of "drop-in," In-Reach volunteers help facilitate a welcoming space for youth to hang out
before Teen Feed’s dinner service. Meeting youth "where they’re at," this time and space is for youth to use
however they choose, with the support of In-Reach volunteers to help maintain a safe space, and must
commit to one evening shift per week for a minimum of 6 months.

History
In 1987, nurses from the University of Washington Medical Center noticed that many street youth accessing the emergency room were severely malnourished. The community responded, and faith groups, service providers, and neighbors came together to provide food to the University District’s homeless youth population. Teen Feed was born, and now we average 40-50 guests each evening. Teen Feed is the only provider of meals specifically to youth and young adults in the University District open regularly every night of the week.
