The Alleycat Acres urban farm at the corner of Marion + 26th in the Central District neighborhood has requested help delivering around 45 pounds of fresh kale, chard, and squash to the local Byrd Barr Place Food Bank every week. This fresh produce that you will be delivering will be harvested fresh that morning by Common Acre volunteers at their Alleycat urban farms throughout the city. Using your bike to connect fresh and locally grown produce with your local food bank and the food insecure families that they support is a fun and quick way to have a big positive impact on your neighborhood while out riding your bike!
The Pedaling Relief Project is looking for 5 volunteers who are able to ride with us at least 2 Tuesdays a month. The meet up point and time for this volunteer opportunity is at 2521 E Marion St, Seattle, WA 98122 (map) next to the chicken coop at 9am. You will need to be able to carry at least 30 pounds of produce on your bike using a rack, basket, panniers, or a backpack. This produce rescue should take around 30 minutes to make.
