Day of Service

Solid Ground Transportation (SGT) provides ACCESS bus services to people who can’t use Metro’s fixed-route system, helping people get to critically needed health and human services resources, and connecting people with their communities.

SGT vehicles are fully accessible, equipped with lifts for loading passengers with wheelchairs and other mobility devices, and have the space to accommodate multiple passengers. Service is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

We’ll meet at the SGT Hub in the South Park neighborhood (8100 8th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108) for coffee and pastries, then get to work cleaning our fleet of buses.

Since 1996, Solid Ground has cultivated a 3/4-acre Giving Garden on historic urban farmland at Marra Farm in the South Park neighborhood.

Each year, community members, volunteers, and staff grow thousands of pounds of fresh, organic produce there. All the produce grown stays in southwest Seattle, nourishing residents via food banks, meal programs, health clinics, and other organizations.

We’ll meet at the Giving Garden in the South Park neighborhood (9026 4th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108) for coffee and pastries, then work on building soil, preparing vegetable beds, planting vegetable starts and seeds, weeding by hand, composting, watering, harvesting, and washing produce.

Solid Ground houses 400+ people at our Sand Point Housing campus in Magnuson Park. The campus provides permanent supportive housing, affordable permanent housing, and onsite support services for formerly homeless families and individuals.

Since 1999, several thousand people have stayed at Sand Point Housing in their journeys from homelessness to stability.

Folks who sign up for this project will meet at a location in the Sand Point neighborhood near campus (exact location TBD) for coffee and pastries, then get to work beautifying Magnuson Park. Seattle Parks and Recreation will have all the tools and instructions we need to complete our jobs.
