When asked what problems the Greater Seattle area faces, what comes to mind? For some, the issue of homelessness will pop up. Knowing that many of our fellow citizens are without housing is distressing, and one SRA member wanted to do something about it. Aimee Woolwine of the Masters Mid-Morning Team decided to make a positive change by giving back to the community. After running across Sound Foundations NW on social media, Aimee began volunteering at The Hope Factory, their building facility in SODO. The goal of Sound Foundations NW is to end homelessness in Seattle and share what they learn to communities with the same intent. "Getting folks out of unsafe living conditions and into a safe place of their own changes their lives. Every person is worthy of that feeling of peace and safety. These homes and the villages they are placed in are a highly effective conduit to a healthier life for so many people," says Woolwine. Working with other SFNW volunteers on a weekly basis, she saw volunteering as a great experience to share with her teammates.
A huge congratulations and thank you to Aimee and the Mid-Morning team for an amazing feat and doing great work for our local communities. Interested in getting involved?
