The Department of Family Medicine at UW would like to invite all members of the local family medicine community to join these talks and looks forward to celebrating 50 years with their fellow FM colleagues!

King County Volunteer Opportunities
Supporting our Unhoused Neighbor
|
Last year, KCAFP organized a group volunteer opportunity with Mary's Place where we cleaned facilities and provided support for this local non-profit. With COVID-19 comes the reality that an organized group effort is unlikely to occur soon, the Board of Directors wanted to encourage individuals to consider volunteering with organizations like Low Income Housing Institute in their efforts to build Tiny Homes for our unhoused neighbors or Get Involved in other ways. You're welcome to click the volunteer information link below or email Tiny House Village Essential Needs Cooridinator Amanda Eason at amanda.eason@lihi.org for more information.
