    Description

    Deliver weekend hunger bags to food-insecure kids

    WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please help us END weekend hunger in King County.

    Backpack Brigade urgently needs delivery drivers to help feed students struggling with food and housing insecurity during weekends in King Co.

    On Thursdays between 8:30-11am, come to our warehouse in Sodo, get loaded up with packed weekend hunger bags, head out to your assigned school(s), and deliver essential food to those kids who otherwise would go hungry all weekend.

    Our tightly-run organization serves over 100 schools in 5 districts, feeding over 5200 students a week. These weekend hunger bags have about 13 items for a child to feed themselves independently.

    Sign up to become a Backpack Brigade delivery driver on Thursday mornings during the school year.

    Every driver starts and ends their route at our warehouse on 1st Ave. in the SODO district of Seattle.

    Shift time: Thursday mornings. Arrival between 8:30AM to 10:30AM, total time no more than 2 hours.

    Location: 1729 1st Ave S. Seattle, WA 98134
