    Description

    Deliver food to students in need

    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, head out to your assigned schools, and deliver weekend hunger bags to those kids in need. We are in 100 schools, 5 districts, and serve over 5000 students a week. These weekend hunger bags have about 13 items for a child to feed themselves.

    Please help us END weekend hunger in King Co.

    WE NEED YOUR HELP! So sign up to become a Backpack Brigade delivery driver 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 8:30AM to 10:30AM, total time no more than 2 hours.

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