The U District Food Bank is looking for some extra delivery help on Saturday mornings! They are asking for 50 volunteer riders who are able to carry 2 to 5 bags each to deliver groceries to families in need in and around the University district, Greenwood, Green Lake, Ravenna, Wallingford, and Lake City neighborhoods. These deliveries will take place every Saturday morning with a 9am, 9:30am, and 10am time blocks at the University District Food Bank location on Roosevelt Way NE Ave S.
Each volunteer rider will need to be able to carry at least two 20 pound bags of groceries. Having a cargo bike or bike trailer is prefered, but not required. As long as you are able to safely secure the bags to your bike with minimal repacking than all types of bikes are welcome!
There are options to ride with a team (maximum of 4 riders) and also to ride solo.
Deliveries for the University District Food Bank will take around a half hour to two hours to make depending on the route that you choose.
