Our Mission: At Lifelong our mission is to "...empower people living with or at risk of HIV and/or other chronic conditions to live healthier lives." Lifelong has robust client management and support programs for housing, medical, wellness, dental, aging and disability client + sexual health education and prevention for both adults and youth. And through it all, the heart of our organization since its start 35 years ago, has been our Chicken Soup Brigade program.
Every week our Chicken Soup Brigade Client Care Advocates, Nutritionists, Chefs and Cooks, Warehouse and Distribution staff and 200+ regular weekly Volunteers work together to make, package, bag and deliver 1000+ nutritionally specific meals for clients in the greater Seattle metro area living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic health conditions
Where you come in: Lifelong's Chicken Soup Brigade Meal Bagging Volunteers work as an assembly team with a staff lead to put together both our regular and special meal bag types, tailored to client needs for leading healthier lives while living with chronic health conditions.
Meal Bagging is a fun, dynamic and fast paced endeavor that’s a great opportunity for doing program critical work. The meals you pack will have an immediate impact, delivered within days to the doors of over 700 weekly clients!
If you like working as a part of a team, tasks that require attention to detail and the satisfaction of a fully completed task every time you volunteer, this might be the volunteer role for you!

Mission Statement
We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.
Description
LIFELONG HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ORGANIZATION THAT STANDS UP FOR COMMUNITIES FACING ILLNESS AND INJUSTICE.
Everyone deserves the chance to live their healthiest life, but that vision is out of reach for far too many people. For nearly 40 years, Lifelong has fought for marginalized communities with relentless compassion-because no one should have to battle stigma, judgment, or the devastating effects of illness alone. Our wraparound care model supports the whole person by breaking down barriers and improving access to nutritious food, stable housing, and vital health resources for people living with diabetes, HIV, kidney disease, and other life-challenging illnesses. Our community support network fills the gaps in broken systems and ensures that everyone has an equitable opportunity to thrive.
