Help feed your hungry neighbors! Last year, Food Lifeline rescued more than 40 million pounds of healthy nutritious food from farmers, manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants. This food often arrives in large quantities that can't be directed immediately to the more than 275 food banks, shelters and meal programs that we serve.
We will be making an impact by sorting and repacking the rescued food so it can go out to these food banks, shelters and meal programs!
The Nonprofit Partner that this event supports: Food Lifeline
Why you are needed: One in 6, or 14.6%, of Washington households were food insecure at some point during 2013, the latest year for which data is available. This means that these households were uncertain of having or were unable to acquire enough food to consistently meet the daily needs of all members of their households.
Food Lifeline rescues millions of pounds of this surplus food from farmers, manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants. They then deliver this healthy and nutritious food to 275 food banks, shelters and meal programs across Western Washington.
They provide 90,000 meals to our hungry neighbors every day. This, combined with their policy and advocacy work creates a sustainable solution for ending hunger.
That’s why they say "Hunger Doesn’t Have to Happen."
Age Requirement: 18+
