At Foster Garvey, giving back to our communities is a core value of our firm’s culture. In 2025, our Seattle office continued its partnership with the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC), an organization that helps individuals experiencing homelessness, substance use disorders and serious mental illness achieve stability and well-being.

As part of All Associates Week this summer, The Opportunity and Progress Council (OPC) brought colleagues together for a special cultural experience in Seattle’s International District.

This summer, we joined 75 businesses in Food Frenzy, in a firm-wide fundraising campaign benefiting Food Lifeline. Food Lifeline works tirelessly to end hunger in western Washington by distributing nutritious food across 17 counties and finding innovative ways to expand the food supply, including culturally relevant options for families in need.

Foster Garvey proudly hosted the 7th annual kick-off for the Joint Minority Mentorship Program (JMMP), formally pairing law students and new attorneys from underrepresented groups with experienced mentor attorneys and judges to guide their legal careers.
