Volunteering made easy!
One Brick brings volunteers together to support other non-profit organizations by adopting an innovative twist to the volunteer experience: we create a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering, and after each volunteer event, we invite volunteers to gather at a local restaurant or cafe where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting.

Our 'commitment-free volunteering' allows you to choose when you volunteer, rather than having to make commitments for a certain number of volunteer hours, or agree to be available every week at a specific time.

OPERATION: Sack Lunch is the largest meal provider in the State of Washington. The people we serve are unable to access food in more conventional ways.

OPERATION: Sack Lunch currently serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days each week to the homeless children, women, and men, who call Seattle their home. We prepare and serve more than 17,000 meals per month with a small staff and volunteers.

We serve the majority of our meals at Seattle's Outdoor Meal Site which is located under I-5 at 6th and Columbia. The site is very inviting and contributes to the dignity and self-esteem of the folks we serve. Our host kitchen is the beautiful remodeled Compass Center at 210 Alaska Way South where we provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner seven days each week to the residents.
