Lifelong Thrift Store

You will find Care To Shop volunteers outside grocery stores on Saturdays.

Just pick up a shopping list. Then, as your do your grocery shopping, throw an extra item or two into your cart for Lifelong’s food program, Chicken Soup Brigade. As you exit the store, drop the paid item into our food barrels. Your donation will go directly into the grocery bag of a person living with HIV/AIDS, or other illnesses in the Puget Sound region.

You can find Care To Shop between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at local grocery stores.

We particularly need items like:

• Cereal
• Canned Tuna
• Canned Meals (Soup, Stew, Etc.)
• Canned Beans
• Peanut Butter
• Jam/Jelly
• Canned Fruits & Vegetables
• Macaroni & Cheese
• Dry Pasta
• Jarred or Canned Spaghetti Sauce

Store gift cards or cash donations are also always appreciated!

Looking for a FUN and FLEXIBLE service project? Organize your own Chicken Soup Brigade Food Drive! We need your help collecting non-perishable food items to help fill grocery bags. Food drives are a great way to get involved! Talk to your friends, your church or community center-get others to help! Talk to your teacher and classmates about making this into a service project. Focus on one item-it could be a cereal drive or even a peanut butter and jelly drive! For more information, call (206) 957-1776 or volunteers@llaa.org.
