Recruiting Organization: Lifelong

Grocery Program Volunteer Job Description

Our Mission: We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.

Lifelong was founded by volunteers in the '80s in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, delivering meals to folks with HIV. Lifelong has expanded since then and merged with the Northwest AIDS Alliance and Evergreen Health, and we now serve individuals with a wide range of chronic medical conditions including cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease, as well as seniors and folks with disabilities. We deliver medically tailored meals and culturally relevant grocery bags to people's homes primarily in King and Snohomish counties.

In 2023 we delivered 280,000 meals and 44,000 grocery bags to folks in need.

Where you come in

1. Lifelong needs volunteers to help repack bulk items such as rice, beans, and oats, pack shelf stable items into grocery bags to prepare for delivery, and help us put away deliveries. The warehouse is the foundation of our work in getting food to clients who are living with and at risk of serious illnesses. With nearly 5 million

pounds of food coming through our door every year, we need all hands on deck to help process the donations. Warehouse volunteers will work in a small warehouse with large windows, with a couple of staff members and other volunteers.

Requirements: All volunteers must obtain a Food Worker Card and show proof of Covid vaccination.

Current needs: Monday-Friday 9:30 am-12:00pm and 1:30-4:00pm

Ages: Ages 16+, 16-17 with a parental consent form which we will provide.
