Needs From: The Volunteer Center of Whatcom County

Volunteer: Social Visits with Seniors!

Mt. Baker Care Center is currently looking for volunteers to participate in social visits with residents in our community!

Our staff will introduce you to residents who are interested and help you both feel out if it will be a good fit. These visits can consist of anything from socializing, coloring, knitting, playing cards, reading aloud, painting nails, and so on. 

Your visits can be anywhere from 15 to 30+ minutes, and weekly consistency is helpful but not required!

Questions? Please ask! We look forward to chatting with you!

Volunteer at Bellingham Community Meal Program (BCMP)

Bellingham Community Meal Program serves hot, nutritious FREE meals on the last Saturday of the month from January through October at Assumption Church, 2116 Cornwell Ave. Meals are for anyone who is hungry in our community and the county.

2-3 Hour Shifts, Once per Month

Individuals and groups can volunteer for a 2-3 hour shift between the hours of 8am and 5pm. Come once or come every month (or for any number of times that works for you).

All volunteers are invited to help us create a welcoming environment for our guests. BCMP strives to make our setting feel more like a restaurant than a soup kitchen, and much of this depends on our volunteers treating guests with dignity and respect. Volunteers may be doing any of the following activities: preparing food and/or cooking, setting up the dining room, serving beverages, serving food, bussing or resetting tables, washing dishes or pots and pans, assisting in the kitchen, taking down tables and chairs, cleaning up the dining hall and the kitchen areas.

Families are Welcome to Volunteer with their Kids

This is a site where there is work to do for people between the ages of 8 and 95!
