We Heart Seattle

Mission Statement

We Heart Seattle is an action-based, boots-on-the-ground movement that organizes trash cleanups in our public spaces and offers resources to those in need. Through our direct civic engagement, we lead the way to a more compassionate and healthy community.

To meet these goals, we:

• Organize regular volunteer trash cleanups in public spaces
• Offer individualized assistance to those in need
• Create a sense of community by welcoming everyone to be involved in real civic engagement
• Build a network of people who no longer walk by neighbors in need and areas needing repair while expecting someone else to help
• Utilize all available safe housing, shelters, and treatment facilities for anyone who is ready
• House our neighbors quickly without the typical restrictions, delays and inefficiency that has kept many on the streets
• Clean up litter and eradicate graffiti
• Develop great partnerships with like-minded stakeholders
• Work cooperatively with city and county employees and leaders

Join us at our regularly scheduled trash cleanups in public spaces! We have different levels and types of cleanups. Sometimes, this includes offering a helping hand to those in need. We are always looking to expand our friendly group of volunteers to join our trash cleanups.
