No better way to spend a holiday than honoring those around who are less better served and often overlooked. Gamers for Good gathered downtown in Portland and served a Sunday meal under the Hawthorne Bridge to a crowd of over 300 that had gathered. ...

Taking the service train down to Orange County, this May we served in the Second Harvest Food Bank in Irvine, CA. Gamers gathered in the name of service for others and processed food donations to ready them for the families that needed them so badly. Never have we seen so many carrots, felt like we were grinding farming quests 🙂

Gamers for Good welcomed many new volunteers this Earth Day out in Portland for some Williamete River area clean up. We gathered at an event organized by SOLVIT and Comcast Cares. We were assigned an urban area that ran parallel to the river and that had many storm drains that led right into the river. As we worked across our zone and filled our bags were gathered trash and waste, we build great bonds discussing projects and hobbies, food tastes and histories. It was...

Nothing like a fresh March morning to hit the Wetlands and help the LA river breathe a little easier. Joined by the folks at Cal State University of Los Angeles, Gamers for Good hiked out into the wetlands and to the mouth of the river to help catch trash before it heads out to sea. ...

March brought Gamers for Good’s second service in our new Portland area, and this trip took us to the Oregon Food Bank, Portland office. Our shift was a busy 4 hours of working together and accomplishing amazing amounts of food and coffee processing for the area’s hungry.

Sunday morning out at Pointe Vicente it just doesn’t get much more beautiful. Getting to spend a few hours with other like-minded individuals who want to help human’s footprint on our beautiful planet Earth.

Moving up from service in SoCal, we were quickly reminded the Pacific NorthWest has all 4 seasons and right now it’s still winter. It was a brisk morning with a cold breeze. BRRRRR. We were really excited to do our first service project since the big move and this one did not let us down. It ended up being a beautiful day, we met some wonderful people and helped settle 11 trees into their new home in Vancouver neighborhoods. The party (hard)...

Gamers took to the sand Sat Jan 27th to help clean up the shores of Hermosa Beach. With paper bags in hand, not plastic since a lot of what we are there to clean up is plastic. We worked alongside others from the local area to clean up a full mile of California coastline. It is always more fun to do service in the company of other gamers, maybe next time we’ll see you here. ...

Gamers for Good had the opportunity to share some booth space with some generous friends at CTNX 2017 (Creative Talent Network Animation Expo).

Was so great to see everyone gather for service of others. We all met and ventured into meet Jackie with Good+ Foundation. Jackie is the volunteer coordinator that would be leading our warehouse service that morning. Jackie was quick to greet us and help us get signed in. She then explained what exactly we would be doing, sorting clothing donations from individual donors and repackage for organizational donations to service groups they work with.

We here at Gamers for Good wanted to take a minute and thank all the organizations and gamers that jumped behind us to support “Quest for Caring 2017”. Putting together a new type of event can be nerve-racking. Will it work? Will they play? Will it be fun? One thing that tends to help an idea feel a little less scary can be when others support you. The validation that comes from I explained my idea to you, and...

Gamers for Good came out strong on the morning of 8/19/2017 at Griffith Park where we participated in an event to help fortify the organizations helping serve the homeless population of Los Angeles.
