Chicken Soup Brigade-Meal Bagging
ORGANIZATION: Lifelong
Please visit the new page to apply.
Our Mission: We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.
Founded by volunteers in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, Lifelong has expanded over the past 40 years to serve people living with chronic illnesses like kidney disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as seniors and people with disabilities.
We have 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.
Every week our Chicken Soup Brigade Client Care Advocates, Nutritionists, Chefs and Cooks, Warehouse and Distribution staff and regular weekly volunteers work together to make, package, bag and deliver medically tailored meals and groceries to clients. We serve homebound seniors and people living with serious health conditions across King, Snohomish and Island County.
Where you come in: Lifelong's Chicken Soup Brigade (CSB) needs volunteers to pack bags of meals in our warehouse. Our Thursday evening meal bagging crew is looking to add a new member to this shift. Meal baggers work alongside each other under the direction of one of our Warehouse Specialists. It is fast-paced and fun!
Meal Bagging Volunteers are typically on their feet for most of their shift and need to be able to lift 10-20 pounds.
Available Shift times:
Thursdays 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Ages: Ages 16+; 16-17 with a guardian/parental consent form which we will provide.
If this sounds like an opportunity for you, join the team now!

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.
