The White Center Food Bank is looking for 5 volunteer riders to deliver bags and boxes of groceries to neighbors in and around the White Center and Southwest Seattle neighborhoods. These deliveries will take place every Thursday and will start at the White Center Food Bank location on 8th Ave SW from 9:30am to 11am. This is a valuable opportunity to connect more with your community, help neighbors who are in need while also having a fun time on your bike, pedaling with a purpose!
The White Center Food Bank uses bags to package their groceries, so each volunteer rider will need to be able to carry at least two 20 pound bags of groceries on their bike. Having a cargo bike or bike trailer is prefered. If you don't have a cargo bike or bike trailer, let us know we have a whole fleet of bike trailers that we are more than happy to lend out! We'll bring them to the food bank for them and you can drop them back off at the food bank after your delivery ride!
Riding with us to do these bike deliveries is a great way to get to know your community and their support systems while also supporting your neighbors. Plus riding your bike with a purpose is just plain fun!!
