In mid-December, Washington was hit with historic rainfall and flooding that devastated the region. While flood waters have receded throughout most of the impacted counties, the need for support has not.

Ashlee Staub, executive co-director of Farmer Frog, recalled the day her family was evacuated from their farm in Snohomish County. As she stood outside their barn, moving people and animals to safety, the water was up to her knees within 15 minutes.

Almost four weeks later, there are still parts of Staub's land that remain under water. A team of Seahawks volunteers, including Seahawks Legend Norm Johnson, and People Come First (PCF) Construction Group volunteered on to clean up debris and chip away at the task of starting over.

"We have to assume everything we planted is contaminated," Staub said. The flooding caused toxic materials and waste to saturate hundreds of acres of land along the river.

Rob Greaves, founder and owner of PCF Construction Group said, "Seeing the Farmer Frog site firsthand was sobering. This nonprofit farm provides fresh produce to underserved communities and educates kids about sustainable agriculture. The floodwaters didn't just damage property, they threatened their entire mission. Walking that land and seeing what they lost, but also seeing their determination to rebuild, reminded me why we do this work."

PCF Construction Group, which is also a member of, Hawks Huddle and group of small businesses that the Seahawks amplify, was quick mobilizing resources and equipment in an effort to help impacted communities.

Greaves said, "Supporting our community during disasters isn't just the right thing to do, it's core to who we are at People Come First Construction Group. We've spent 18 years building this company in the Pacific Northwest, and when our neighbors face crisis, we're going to show up."

Now, continued volunteer and funding support is critical to rebuilding what was lost.

"Volunteers are the ones that hold us when times are hard. The work we do to organize and make connections can only go so far. With help from volunteers, nonprofits like ours can make bigger ripples of support to the community," Staub said.

Around the county, volunteers were using personal vehicles to help pick-up supplies and take away debris from farm sites. To help offset some of these expenses, Safeway also provided Farmer Frog with gas cards to give volunteers.

For those looking for assistance, organizations like Washington Farmland Trust will launch a fund on January 20 to provide micro-grants to farmers ranging from $500 to $5,000.

Melissa Campbell, executive director of the Washington Farmland Trust said, "We have walked alongside Washington farmers for the past 25 years. Today, we're even more committed to showing up as farmers face catastrophic weather events such as flooding. Climate disasters aren't going away and will likely continue to worsen. We plan to be there every step of the way for the land and the people who grow our food."
