Starting in 2008, as a group of several Shoreline churches that organized to assist local schools with landscaping needs, we have recently evolved into a community-based group looking to leverage community resources and relationships to support students in the Shoreline School District (Cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, WA).
We would love to you to be a part of our team, if you are interested in helping, please send us an email: embraceshorelineschools@gmail.com
