Thank you Orca K-8 Penny Harvest for choosing SNG as your Grant Recipient!
We recently were awarded Orca K-8 School's Penny Harvest grant! Penny Harvest is a service-learning youth philanthropy program where youth between the ages of 4 and 18 convert their natural passion for others into action by collecting pennies and turning them into grants for community organizations. They studied community needs and organizations and chose to donate to us! Thanks Orca K-8!

Clean Ups bring neighborhoods together!
We like to help communities get together and one of the most effective ways to get out and meet the neighbors is during a neighborhood clean up! Here at Seattle Neighborhood Group we partner with Seattle Public Utilities, or Seattle Parks Department and many other local community groups to pick up garbage, paint out graffiti, care for overgrown places, and get people out and working together. Often we are joined by other non-profit agencies from the community to do a cleanup together. Communities we will help organize cleanups in are White Center, Delridge, West Seattle, the Central Area, Capitol Hill, and Southeast Seattle.
This past year in Rainier Valley, the 2010 Bridge to Beach Makeover was a success because of the collaboration of groups like Seattle Neighborhood Group, Rainier Valley Chamber of Commerce, HomeSight, Southeast Effective Economic Development (SEED), The Rainier Valley Post, and King County Public Health. Many neighborhood-based groups joined in, like the Othello Park Alliance, and some faith based groups too made the cleanup a huge success. Other neighborhood cleanups have participants and sponsors like these from their own areas.
If you and your neighbors would like to participate in a clean up in your area, or if you would like to organize one, contact us and we can help to bring it all together!
This is what cleanups look like...
