Opportunities From: United Way of King County

Hunger Intervention Program's Senior Meal program prepares lunches on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for seniors. While the majority of meals are served at the Lamb of God Church in the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle, a portion are delivered to homebound Seniors in the north Seattle area with the help of staff and volunteer delivery drivers.

HIP is looking for BACKUP volunteer delivery drivers to deliver meals when a regular driver cannot. In the event that our regular drivers can't make it, we'll reach out to you and ask if you're available to do the delivery. You by no means are required to take the shift, especially on short notice.

Meals are picked up from the Lamb of God Church at 11:45am and are delivered to apartments and homes across North Seattle. The route takes approximately 2 hours. The volunteer will be asked to use their own vehicle, but will be reimbursed for gas.

This position requires a background check. Please click the Respond button below for more information or to register.

HIP serves freshly prepared, healthy lunches to seniors as part of Lake City Senior Days three days a week. We are looking for a check-in volunteer who'll greet program participants, check them in (either using a scanner or on paper), and make them feel welcome in that space.

This role will also involve helping seniors check in for a second meal, distributing monthly menus and signup forms, collecting donations, and generally being a point of contact for program participants. We have openings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 12 to 1:45 pm, but anyone who could help on any day would be helpful.

As a food organization, we go through many rags and aprons and we'd love your help with laundry! We provide a document with instructions on how to thoroughly clean rags and aprons.

The laundry would be picked up from the HIP kitchen (3841 NE 123rd ST, Seattle, Washington) on Friday afternoons after 12:30 pm. Drop-off can be anytime on Monday, although it’s slightly easier after meal prep is finished at 11:30 am onwards.

This is a weekend volunteer opportunity.

Hunger Intervention Program (HIP) is an award-winning organization that is changing the lives of children, families, seniors, and unhoused neighbors by increasing food security through nutritious meals, community food education programs, and advocacy. Join the Board of Directors of HIP and provide strategic leadership to this dynamic organization.

HIP's meal programs provide vital meals to our neighbors, young and old, through programs like our Healthy HIP Packs, Summer Meals, Shelter Meals, and Senior Community Meals. We offer various nutrition education classes, activities, gardening programs, food justice workshops, and cooking demonstrations for children, adults, and families throughout the year. HIP also actively participates in several different coalitions to advocate for food justice issues, locally and nationally.

The HIP board is a governing board, providing oversight and leadership to the organization. It makes sure the best interests of the community are represented and funds are stewarded in support of the mission.

Board members are expected to participate in a monthly board meeting, serve on board committees, and/or hold an officer position as needed, and support fundraising efforts through personally significant annual gifts, connecting to other giving opportunities, and helping at HIP events and outreach.

We value a Board of Directors as diverse as the community we serve and give special consideration to people who have a lived experience of food insecurity. We are specifically looking for people with expertise in one/more of these areas: poverty alleviation, agriculture, farm labor, food systems, social work, community organizing, advocacy, youth services, or senior services; skills in the area of fundraising, law, human resources, non-profit governance, or data & program evaluation. All our Board members are passionate about food justice, understand the importance of working with a racial equity lens, and value continued learning that influences our work. People of color, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQIA2+ folks are strongly encouraged to apply.
