Meet the Green Team: Wurkwel


Wurkwel joined us for a Green Teams clean-up on September 20th at Douglass Park.

Rightsize Facility (Wurkwel Ventures) is a nationwide furniture dealer and facility services firm and serves as the single source to plan, furnish and service office expansion, relocation, or consolidation for corporate clients in transition.

The team has participated in with CPF’s Green Teams program in the past and it always a favorite of theirs during Corporate Social Responsibility Month!


Why is volunteering for the parks important to your organization?

Giving back to our community and its citizens is an ongoing priority for the entire Wurkwel family.

How does your organization’s mission relate to the work you’re doing with CPF?

Our organization is committed to eco-friendly practices and environmental sustainability is one of our core tenants.

Share a highlight of your clean-up event experience.

Engaging with citizens in the park and hearing how much they appreciated us volunteering was definitely a highlight.

Thank you for pitching in again, Wurkwel!
