Food Lifeline Volunteer Event

Date: Saturday, April 30
Time: 9:00AM – 11:00AM
Location:?Food Lifeline
815 S 96th St
Seattle, WA 98108

This is an eye-opening lesson on food insecurity in our region and a greatservice opportunity. Food lifeline is the main distributor to food banks in the region, receiving massive amounts of food (often straight from the farm) to be sorted, repackaged, and trucked to food banks around town. The work you do during the shift will directly impact hungry people in our region the following week. Who knows what our group’s task will be — in past years we have shoveled frozen green beans from a crate into 1-lb bags suitable for a hungry family, sorted pears, and repackaged 50 lb sacks of brownie mix into the amount a family would use for one pan of brownies. Operating a pallet jack, working off a conveyor belt, and wearing headnets may be part of the fun!
