Volunteer Opportunities: Craft Room Organizing & Card-Making for Seniors

Lutheran Community Services Northwest has reached out to Allied Arts to share the following volunteer opportunities:
 
1. Organizing our craft/scrapbooking room
We recently received a huge donation of scrapbooking materials for our Santa for Seniors card-making program (serving Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan Counties). We’re looking for someone who enjoys organizing and has an eye for sorting supplies. There’s no rush, but ideally we’d love to complete this project sometime over the summer. A volunteer could also help estimate how long the full organizing project might take.
2. Crafting and writing cards for isolated seniors
As part of Santa for Seniors, we’re creating 2,000 cards for older adults who may be feeling disconnected or alone. We’re hosting card‑making gatherings in our space on Mondays throughout March and April, and we also have take‑home kits available.
Right now, we’re producing Spring cards, with a return date of April 24. After that, we’ll transition to Winter Holiday cards.
 
Interested community members should reach out to Lutheran Community Services to get involved at the link here!

Noisy Waters Kids Wall looking for Volunteers!!

Who: The Noisy Waters Mural Festival hosted by Paper Whale, a community art nonprofit founded by Nick Hartich and Gretchen Leggitt.
 
What: The Kids Wall is a community painting area for youth, disabled community members, and their families to try out wall painting. The area is split in half: the Older Youth Wall and the Little Kid Wall. Older Youth will be supplied with latex and acrylic paint at their own risk. The Little Kid Wall is a new tempera paint station intended for small children and families unequipped to deal with permanent paint. Parents are required to stay with their Youth.
 
Why: To engage the community in the process AND ephemeral nature of public art.
 
When: August 16th – 18th. 10am – 6pm. Volunteers are welcome to define their time commitment. 
 
How: Email mxemilycarey@gmail.com with your availability to volunteer!
