  Where can I find volunteer opportunities that are appropriate for my family to do together? I have grade-school age children. Thanks for your ideas!

  2 0 There are usually volunteer events listed in the Seattle's Child events calendar. Under "Event Type" on the calendar page, do a search for "Community Service Events." Most of these events tend to take place outdoors, so there will be more listed in July than in January. Chris answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  An organization which accepts donations of "opened" diapers?

  2 0 Ben, I just spoke with YWCA's Pathways for Women in Lynnwood https://www.ywcaworks.org/Page.aspx?pid=447. They say that they would gladly accept the diapers, as long as they're in good condition. Here is a list of the YWCA program locations, in case one of these is closer to you.  You would have to call to make sure they also would accept the diaper donation. https://www.ywcaworks.org/Page.aspx?pid=485 Chris answered in Family & Kids about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
