Giving
Worktank actively supports several charities around the Puget Sound area. We also encourage our employees to give back in their own way by providing the flexibility they need to support the causes closest to them.
How We Give
-
United Way - Day of Caring 2007
Worktank joined with over 7,000 volunteers from nearly 120 companies in the Puget Sound area. This event was the largest single-day volunteer project in Washington and represents about $600,000 in donated labor to schools, nonprofit organizations, and parks across King County.
We joined teams from Microsoft at Seattle's Discovery Park to help reclaim land from invasive species and make way for nature to take back the land. Blackberry bushes, spiders, and shovels were the order of the day.

Friends of the Cedar River Watershed
We love salmon and we love to know that there will be wild salmon and clean rivers and streams for generations to come. That's why we made sure to sponsor a hand-planed and painted salmon by Deborah McCarroll for the Cedar Salmon Art Exhibit and Online Auction. All proceeds from the auction will raise money for the Friends of the Cedar River Watershed's salmon education program and restoration projects.

Adopt a Family for the Holidays
Many families are without the means to celebrate during the holiday season, so Worktank adopted two families who were without gifts or even the necessary staples for living. We shopped for the items on their wish list and ended up with mounds of presents to wrap. Then, on a dark and stormy Seattle night, we all felt the true spirit of the holidays as we delivered a truckload of gifts to our two astonished Worktank families.
