Seattle Homeless Outreach

Seattle Homeless Outreach (SHO) serves neighborhoods within both Seattle and Tacoma where there is a great need for services.

SHO seeks to meet our clients where they are, without expectation or judgment, and provide basic survival supplies including food, water, sleeping bags, tents, clothing, and bus tickets. But more importantly, we provide a human connection to our homeless neighbors. SHO builds relationships with our homeless neighbors and with social service providers in the Seattle area so that we can connect people with services they need.

Volunteer Opportunities

We have volunteer opportunities for all ages and abilities.

1. Put The “Fun” In Fundraising: Are you great at planning and organizing casual and fun fundraising events? We could use your help!
2. Make Sandwiches Or Healthy Snack Packs: For each outreach SHO does, we have a fantastic group of sponsors who provide pre-made sandwiches or snack packs. This activity is perfect for school kids, scout troops, youth groups, and corporate giving campaigns.
3. Host A Donation Drive: Each year, people across our community host donation drives to benefit SHO clients: coats, backpacks, socks, hygiene supplies, flashlights and batteries, blankets, and outdoor gear are all great options.
4. Help Fulfill A Special Request: Our clients sometimes have needs that we can’t meet without a little help. If you’re interested in sponsoring special requests, we can connect specific requests with you.
5. Let’s Work Together: Is there another way you’d like to get involved with Seattle Homeless Outreach for Seattle or Tacoma? Get in touch and let us know how you’d like to help out.
