The Works move was a huge success!
Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who helped move The WORKS to its new location at the Shoreline Center. We had fantastic, strong, and capable volunteers and excellent weather! We can't wait for Shoreline School District families to shop in our new location beginning September 5th! Like The WORKS Facebook page to see photos of the new space and learn about upcoming volunteer opportunities.
