Testimonials

"It is difficult to imagine a more demanding group of volunteers than UPSers when it comes to logistics. Seattle Works delivered flawlessly. The volunteers were immediately organized when they exited the buses, gathered for an energetic kick-off rally and were at work within 5 minutes of dispatch. Everyone enjoyed a fantastic day of volunteer service and worked hard to complete all of the planned tasks ahead of schedule."

- Lisa M. Hamilton, The UPS Foundation


"Seattle Works is such a great organization, truly empowering smaller organizations such as The Healing Center through their strong volunteers."

- Wendy Clough, The Healing Center
