In 2025 We Heart Seattle WHS removed 270,000 pounds of trash from Seattle and bordering cities, public spaces parks, alleys, sidewalks, playgrounds, greenbelts, bike trails, vacant lots, and commercial zones, organized 52 individual debris cleanup events and accrued close to 3800 volunteer hours. Through our civic engagement, we involved 450 new volunteers, restored 24 degraded landmarks and parks, and partnered with park stewards who maintain these spaces long-term. Our organized large format debris removals not only contribute to a cleaner environment, but also foster system-wide changes for equity and civic engagement by bringing communities together. In 2025, we further supported civic engagement by hosting a city-wide voter awareness walkabout, along with voter registration and education events. During our daily boots-on-the-ground activities, we connected individuals living unhoused to a range of vital resources, including medical detox, recovery housing, and employment navigation, securing vital documents, removing a range of barriers and, ultimately, assisting 33 individuals to move off the streets in 2025, and uplifting the lives of thousands. Our Clean and Care model provides a unique and vital approach to saving lives, thus saving our city from the decimation the drug epidemic plays in the environmental and humanitarian crisis we face. In 2025, We Heart Seattle continued our partnership with the City of Seattle to access a drug rehabilitation fund providing friction-free access for people in need of treatment.
