WEDNESDAY U District Food Bank Food Delivery Ride
Join us to feed hungry neighbors, meet new friends, have fun riding bikes, and show that bikes are ideal tools for in-city short-haul cargo in Northeast Seattle
MEETING POINT Meet at the University District Food Bank at 5017 Roosevelt Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 (map). At the front of the building there is a large garage door and you’ll find us gathered just inside of the garage. Only bikes are allowed in the garage during the times below.
MEETING TIMES Arrive at the food bank ANYTIME between 4:30pm and 6:30pm.
Arriving at 6:29pm works just as well as arriving at 5:45pm or 4:37pm!
Meet at the food bank ANYTIME between 4:30pm and 6:30pm to pickup grocery bags for a 30 to 45 min delivery
TIME COMMITMENT All delivery routes are less than 3 miles and take around 45 minutes to make.
You'll select who and where you are delivering groceries to once you arrive at the food bank.
WHAT TO BRING
- Bring yourself
- a bike;
- a helmet;
- a way to carry a bag of groceries (panniers, rack, basket, backpack, trailer); If you have a trailer, bring that. If not, we have ones you can borrow, and we're happy to show you how to use them too.
ACTIVITY: HOME DELIVERY We load up trailers with pre-packaged food bags, and deliver them to neighbors who are unable to visit the University District Food Bank in person. We deliver to both homes and apartments. Bring along a couple of friends and make your deliveries a fun group ride!
SNACKS Every week we'll have different snacks and treats for you to try once you arrive at the food bank! Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cold drinks will also be available for volunteers
