Join GFC on June 7th for Seattle Works Day

Join Gorilla FC , Seattle Works, and 1,300 Seattleites to collectively donate over 4,500 hours of volunteer service on Seattle Works Day, Sat 6/7. Our shared love for all things green – parks, gardens, forests, and of course, Sounders FC, drives our commitment to protecting and preserving our city’s public spaces.

Give some (noon – 3.30pm)

Volunteers spend the afternoon spread across 40 project sites in Seattle and the surrounding area. From planting fruit trees in public gardens to painting community centers, Gorilla FC volunteers will mulch, dig, paint, organize, and beautify our city.

Gorilla FC will give some love to an urban forest at the Brandon Street Natural Area

Location: SW Brandon St and 29th Ave SW, West Seattle

Minimum age: 14

The Brandon Street Natural Area is a 12 acre urban forest. King CD has been working with Seattle Parks for the last 7 years to restore and enhance the forests ecological functions. During the summer months volunteers help us maintain newly planted areas. The activities help ensure good survivor-ship of newly planted native trees and shrubs. Volunteers will help ensure that this functioning forest provides not only quality habitat for salmon, birds and mammals, but also providing clean air and water for the local community and Puget Sound region.

Get some (3.30pm – 5.30pm)

After an afternoon of hard work, volunteers are rewarded with food, beer, and entertainment at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall (305 Harrison St). Stoup Brewing will be pouring an exclusive Seattle Works Day beer for volunteers we chow down on tacos from Taco del Mar.

Get some more (5.30pm – 7.30pm)

There’s a game on, folks! Watch the Sounders FC take on the Chicago Fire at 5:30pm at Buckley’s Queen Anne where happy hour prices will be extended to all volunteers. Starfire Sports will be co-hosting the event and extending registration offers and other prizes to attendees. GO RAVE GREEN!
