Grocery Program Volunteer Job Description
Our Mission: We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone.
Lifelong was founded by volunteers in the '80s in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis, delivering meals to folks with HIV. Lifelong has expanded since then and merged with the Northwest AIDS Alliance and Evergreen Health, and we now serve individuals with a wide range of chronic medical conditions including cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease, as well as seniors and folks with disabilities. We deliver medically tailored meals and culturally relevant grocery bags to people's homes primarily in King and Snohomish counties.
In 2024 we delivered 180,000 meals and 35,000 grocery bags to folks in need.
Where you come in
Lifelong needs volunteers to help repack bulk items such as
rice, beans, and oats, pack shelf stable items into grocery bags to prepare for

our work in getting food to clients who are living with serious
illnesses.

Current needs: Monday - Friday 9:30am - 12:00pm and 1:30pm - 4:00pm
