Make Sack Lunches

Date/Time: Any day of the week around lunchtime.

Location: Assemble the lunches at home and coordinate with the Volunteer Coordinator to determine which of our buildings is a good fit for your drop off. Our buildings are concentrated in the Downtown/Belltown/South Lake Union neighborhoods with one in Bellevue and one in Ballard.

Ages: Families are welcome to participate. Perfect for group volunteering with young kids.

Time Commitment: Varies. This can be a one-time opportunity or a monthly recurring opportunity. We would love to work with you in whatever capacity is best for you.

Volunteers are needed to purchase supplies, assemble lunches at home or with a community group, and then deliver 50-100 sack lunches to one of our buildings across the Seattle region. This is a great opportunity to directly impact our residents and address a large need for the community! A lot of residents are seniors or have dental issues, so softer foods are ideal.

Here are examples of what to include in a paper bag sack lunch:

• One main protein item such as a meat and cheese sandwich, or a meat and cheese wrap.
• One healthy item such as a fruit cup, apple sauce, or hummus.
• One savory item such as chips, crackers, or pretzels.
• One sweet item such as fruit snacks or pudding.

Please do not include any common allergens such as nuts (peanut butter) or seafood.
