Event Description:

North Helpline's food bank serves the residents of seven different zip codes in the North Seattle area (98115, 98125, 98133, 98155, 98177, 98011, and 98208). They serve a wide variety of family sizes, dietary needs, and taste preferences, and aim to provide an appropriate amount of food for all.

What we'll be doing:

Volunteers will be performing various duties that include: food distribution, carrying groceries to cars, re-stocking food crates on the line, and sorting food. Volunteers may also assist with setting up and closing of the food bank. Volunteers will learn about the great need for social service programs in their community and how families survive in difficult economic times.

What you should know:

Volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable working clothes. Work is done in a warehouse, so dress for the weather.

North Helpline:

North Helpline is a non-profit organization that works to alleviate financial crisis for our community by providing basic human resources such as nutritious food, hygiene items, baby supplies, eviction prevention, utility shutoff prevention, and move-in support. Founded in 1989 by a community of citizens concerned about the welfare of their neighbors, North Helpline now serves over 2,500 unduplicated households each year and distributes over one million pounds of food through the our food bank. Since its inception, North Helpline has earned a reputation in the community as a place that serves the low-income and homeless population with dignity and respect.
