Hopelink seeks more volunteers


Jan 03 2009

Hopelink, the Redmond-based organization helping families, senior citizens and people with disabilities in east and north King County, needs the help of an army of volunteers to fulfill its mission of helping people make lasting change in their lives.

Hopelink relies upon volunteers for such jobs as sorting food in one of its food banks, helping adults learn to read or do basic math or study for the GED exams, delivering food to homebound clients, or answering phones and helping with administrative tasks. Hopelink continues to need new volunteers over age 16 and welcomes anyone interested to one of the upcoming orientation meetings:

• Wednesday, Jan. 7 at Hopelink’s Adult Education Department office, 15015 Main St., Suite 206 in Kelsey Creek Plaza (across from the main Hopelink center) in Bellevue. An afternoon orientation will start promptly at 1 p.m. and end at 2:30 p.m. An evening orientation will start promptly at 7 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m.

• Thursday, Jan. 8, from 10-11:30 a.m. at Hopelink’s Bothell center, 18220 96th Ave. NE.

• Wednesday, Jan. 14, from 2-3:30 p.m. at Hopelink’s Carnation center, 31957 Commercial St.
