EnviroCorps

EnviroCorps Part of the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation, a 501 c3 charity, GGHF EnviroCorps connects community volunteers to help maintain parks, trails and roadways.

About the GGHF EnviroCorps program:

With the passing of its founder, Vernon Young, EnviroCorps moved to become part of the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation to help assure a permanent legacy of support for initiatives that improve our parks, trails and open space resources, promote environmental awareness and stewardship, and engage our greater peninsula communities in the protection of our natural r

esources. EnviroCorps road and trail programs (Adopt-A-Road and Sponsor-A-Trail) provide volunteer opportunities to help maintain publicly accessible community lands, parks, trails and roads, as safe and pleasant places by actively engaging our community in caring for and maintaining these resources.. The Greater Gig Harbor Foundation (GGHF) a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, Section 509 (a)(2) public charity serving the greater Gig Harbor and Key Peninsula communities is a young, dynamic community foundation. The Foundation works collaboratively to build, bridge and enrich our greater peninsula region by raising funding, advocating for and providing support to help meet diverse community needs in five core areas – arts & culture, education, parks & environment, recreation and social capital – which are all essential to sustaining vibrant healthy communities across our peninsulas.

Dash Point State Park Beach was relatively clean, but we still managed to find some chemically treated lumber, as well as some lumber with peeling old paint. Several bags of litter were also collected. This all took place on Thursday, August 27th, 2026. Huge thanks to all who participated.

We had a great turnout this past Friday, August 21st for our beach cleanup at Manchester State Park. We had several members of YMSL, along with Amber & Greg Lawrence, Cynthia Shaffer, and of course Apollo. We found a small amount of treated wood, rope, floats, metal cable, rusted pipes, and plastic bags.

Big thanks to our volunteers from YMSL (Young Men's Service League) for yesterday's litter patrol. We collected 8 bags of litter and a bunch of discarded paint buckets. Thanks also to Tracy's Quality Painting, Inc. for their continued support of our efforts to keep our area roads looking great!

Today felt like a good moment to share a few reminders of what community support actually looks like here at home.

In 2025, the Gig Harbor Senior Center welcomed nearly 10,000 visits through programs focused on connection, wellness, meals, movement, and community support — while also helping deliver nearly 10,000 pounds of food to low-income seniors through its partnership with Emergency Food Network.

Since 2003, the Lu Winsor Environmental Fund has invested more than $300,000 into local environmental education, habitat restoration, and stewardship efforts that help protect the shorelines, forests, and waterways that define our region.

And in 2025 alone, EnviroCorps volunteers walked 56 miles of local roadway litter patrols and removed more than 100 bags of litter from community spaces throughout our region.

These things happen because people continue choosing to care about the place they live and the people around them.

None of us can solve every challenge facing the world right now. But together, we can help create a community where seniors feel connected, students feel supported, families feel cared for, and the natural places around us are protected for future generations.

If you’d like to be part of today’s WA Gives campaign, there’s still time to help strengthen the community we all share:
