History

Established in 1975.

The Puget Sound Labor Agency mission is to improve the quality of life for people needing assistance and to provide an avenue for unions and their families to help.

The Puget Sound Labor Agency (PSLA) was founded in 1975 by local labor unions to serve their neighbors and to give back to their community.

Individuals and families living within eight zip codes were helped through our food bank, our emergency assistance program, and our residential wheelchair ramp program. Over 38,000 people were helped from June 2010 to June 2011.
