YWCA Family Village is seeking volunteers to provide snacks for students in its Afterschool Homework Club.

The club is a place for young residents of the affordable housing complex to drop in and advance their studies four days a week.

But Program Assistant Kelley Johnson wants to make sure participants have full stomachs to get them through their schoolwork, she said.

“Our goal is to give them, at least, a granola bar or an apple,” Johnson said. “Or just something they can munch on while they do their homework.”

The Kids Summer Camp run by the Family Village received donations from the Issaquah Food Bank. But the homework club, staffed by an on-site youth advocate and volunteers, is a less formal group that doesn’t have the same partnerships.

Johnson recalled one visit from Pacific Cascade Middle School Principal Dana Bailey, who said that 10 percent of her students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

“We don’t know what they’re getting for lunch and we don’t know what they’re getting for dinner,” Johnson said.

The homework club is attended by 12 to 20 students per day.

Anyone interested in donating snacks is asked to contact Johnson at kejohnson@ywcaworks.org or 425-270-6800.
