Deliver Food to Neighbors with Chicken Soup Brigade

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Idealist.org

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Recruiting Organization: Lifelong

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.

Our Vision: Health For All

Making an impact in your community is easier than you think! Help deliver nutritious, culturally appropriate groceries and medically tailored meals from the Chicken Soup Brigade to our clients who are home-bound and/or living with serious illnesses.

Volunteer driver routes take 60-120 minutes to complete on average (including picking up the food from our home base in Georgetown), you will deliver to around 6-10 clients per route, and we can try to find a route near where you live to save driving time and help you build connections within your community.

We are currently looking for support with the following routes:

  • Wednesday - Lynnwood, Shoreline, Everett, North Seattle
  • Friday - Kent or Auburn

Pickup Time/Location: Pick up times are between 9:00am - 3:00pm Monday - Friday at our warehouse in Georgetown. We also have satellite pickup locations in Bellevue, Auburn, and Everett on certain days of the week to reduce your driving time if you live close to those areas. Please ask us about those in your application if you're interested!

Commitment: 1 shift per week for at least 3 months (OK to take time off for vacations and other commitments. Just make sure those dates are communicated to us!)

Qualifications: Must be 18 years old or older, have a driver’s license, and a reliable vehicle with proof of insurance. Must be vaccinated for COVID-19. Training for the role is provided.
