COMMUNITY OUTREACH & VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT (COVE) Programs
The Pacific Northwest is fortunate to be home to many world-class organizations that work tirelessly to make our community safer and more compassionate every day. The Community Outreach & Volunteer Engagement (COVE) program supports that work by managing events and projects in collaboration with our nonprofit community partners. Our volunteer hours let our partners and their clients leverage their resources farther, while creating more opportunities for the Assistance League of the Eastside to be connected and responsive to unmet needs in our community.
COVE is organized around three teams:
- Starting Over Support provides household items to local shelters so families fleeing domestic abuse can rebuild their lives in safety. We also host holiday celebrations and social events that lend a sense of community and support.
- Help4Homeless provides local shelters with the personal care items needed during the transition from dependence to independence. We also host social events that create a sense of community.
- Women Inspired Network provides meals, clothing and personal care items to local shelters and specifically tailors their outreach activities so that women with busy work schedules can participate in our events.
