Volunteer: Grocery Program Volunteer - Lifelong Health for AllOur Mission We remove barriers to health with relentless compassion so that no one faces illness and injustice alone. Our History We have always fought for those living with HIV and we always will. In the 1980s, elected officials and other local and national leaders displayed cruelty and bigotry when they refused to support the services and research needed to combat the early surge of the HIV epidemic. A handful of volunteers witnessed their friends, partners, and neighbors neglected and left to die. They were compelled to fight back and mobilized the community to unite against injustice. They made a lifesaving difference in the lives of thousands through an assembly of chore wheels, hospital visitation calendars, and the establishment of new non-profit organizations. They helped create us, Northwest AIDS Foundation, Chicken Soup Brigade, and Evergreen Wellness Advocates, which became Lifelong. The need is greater now than ever! Where you come in Lifelong's Chicken Soup Brigade (CSB) needs volunteers to lift and stack boxes, unload trucks, repackage, bag, prepare, and pack grocery bags in our warehouse. The warehouse is the foundation of our work in getting food to clients who are living with serious illnesses. With nearly 1.5 million pounds of food coming through our door every year, we need all hands on deck to help process the donations. Our volunteer sessions are fun, rewarding, and inclusive!
