Description
Our Mission: We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.
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 drivers are the heart and soul of our food program, delivering thousands of bags of groceries as well as medically-tailored meals each week to our clients. Routes take 60-90 minutes to complete on average (including picking up the food from our home base in Georgetown), you will deliver to around 6-8 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:
- Monday - West Renton
- Tuesday - Burien, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Interbay
- Wednesday - Lynnwood, Shoreline, Everett, North Seattle, First Hill
- Thursday - Renton, Newcastle
Pickup Time/Location: We can generally accommodate pickups from our warehouse in Georgetown from 9am - 3pm. 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.
