Sometimes, the biggest victories come in the smallest packages.
When we first met Brandon, finding the right job placement for him felt like threading a needle. With significant health considerations and physical restrictions, the opportunities were limited. But at AtWork!, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to contribute, feel pride in their work, and be a valued part of their community.
Thanks to a connection through our local community center, we were introduced to Greenworks of Washington—a septic inspection, repair, and maintenance company serving counties across Western Washington. Their team didn’t just see a set of limitations—they saw potential. Together, we crafted a role that worked within Brandon’s needs and aligned with his strengths.
Now, Brandon works one two-hour shift each week—and he loves it. He’s in charge of keeping the Greenworks office clean and tidy. When he received his first paycheck from the owner, it was more than just a financial transaction. It was a moment of joy, independence, and self-worth.
And the response? Incredible. Community members rallied in support of Greenworks and Brandon. One shift. One paycheck. A world of difference.
