Roxhill Elementary in West Seattle is looking for volunteers to help with a few recurring needs at the school, including reading practice with students, garden maintenance and weekly food box deliveries.

One need comes through Neighborcare Health's clinic at Roxhill Elementary, which is seeking help picking up food boxes from the West Seattle Food Bank and delivering them in a personal vehicle. The delivery window is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays or 10 a.m. to noon on Fridays.

The school is also seeking adults who can spend 15 minutes once a week listening to a student read. Scheduling is flexible, though the easiest time is at the start of the school day, around 8 to 8:15 a.m. Volunteers for that role must be approved by Seattle Public Schools.

Another need is year-round help in the school garden, including summer care. Roxhill says the campus has very little greenspace, making the garden an important outdoor learning area for students. Work includes planting, watering, weeding and general upkeep. Seattle Public Schools-approved volunteers may also be able to join the after-school garden club that meets once a week.

People interested in helping can contact [email protected] to learn more or sign up. The school group is also seeking donated items through a separate wishlist.
