Agros Blog

In order to better serve the mission of Agros the Seattle office will be relocating to a new space on March 15, 2008. We’ve worked hard over the last several years in our current office space to maximize resources and accommodate a growing organization. For Agros, organizational growth is driven by a determination to meet the enormous need of struggling, landless, rural poor families.We are committed to meeting that need with passion, resourcefulness, and conscientious stewardship.

After many months of diligent searching, we will be moving to the corner of 4th and Bell, in Belltown. (For those of you outside of Seattle, Belltown is a neighborhood north of downtown Seattle, and south of the Space Needle).

Driven by a desire to be as economical and wise as possible in our selection we spent nearly a year looking for the right space. This office in Belltown is by far the most economical option of all the spaces viewed and it also allows us room to expand without over-committing resources. The building itself is owned by a non-profit housing management organization which operates residential units for elderly and disabled people on the upper floors, and is in a neighborhood that is full of other non-profits and service related institutions.

As a staff we’re excited for not only the move, but also the ongoing growth opportunities ahead of us. We realize that fundamentally, growth means more families having the opportunity to escape the suffering of extreme poverty, and building new lives for themselves.

We’ll soon have an open-house event at the new space, and we look forward to seeing many of you there.
