About the Event
OVERVIEW
Join the Young Professionals of Seattle as we volunteer sorting and repacking nutritious food with Food Lifeline. It’s easy, and fun and you can make a huge difference in just a couple of hours.
You’ll sort bulk donations and repack sourced grocery items into family-size portions so Food Lifeline can send it over to local food banks, shelters, and meal programs!
Your help is needed more than ever right now. People are showing up at Food Lifeline's front desk asking for food. And the number of people volunteering declines during winter. We hope you can join us!
NOTE: In addition to RSVPing here on the YPCommunities event page, you will need to register on the Food Lifeline site.
ABOUT FOOD LIFELINE
Food Lifeline is on a mission to end hunger in Western Washington. We believe that access to food is a basic human right and that nobody deserves to be hungry. Food Lifeline provides nutritious food to 1.37 million people facing hunger by sourcing nutritious food from a variety of food industry partners. We distribute through a network of 350 food banks, shelters, and meal programs, enabling us to provide the equivalent of more than 282,000 meals every single day. At the same time we are working to end hunger for the future by addressing its root causes, including poverty, racial inequity, and social injustice. We do this through advocacy efforts to shape local, state, and federal policy, by partnering with organizations that are addressing other causes of poverty, and through engagement and bundling food assistance with other community-based programs and services.
