Spirit of Volunteerism and JustServe Recognized by Federal Way City Council
The Federal Way City Council proclaimed September 11, 2026, as Community Volunteerism Awareness Day.
Highlighting JustServe.org as a tool to connect local volunteers with community needs.

Before reading the official text, Councilmember Walsh invited everyone in the room who volunteers—with city commissions, food banks, civic clubs, or faith groups—to stand. Nearly the entire chamber stood to be recognized!
"Through JustServe and our partnerships, we are committed to looking for meaningful ways to contribute—because we believe strong communities are built when neighbors care for neighbors," said President Reiner.
JustServe Specialist Colleen Elkington encouraged everyone to get involved: “If you're looking for ways to serve right here in Federal Way, check out JustServe.org to see where help is needed most.”
