What GWA Business Owners Are Saying
"Good Work Austin has been incredibly helpful for navigating a best course of action during pandemic times. It is a huge peace of mind to be able to talk through challenges with other businesses who are committed to doing the right thing and to support each other through a really trying couple of years. I am incredibly excited about the forward momentum of GWA and am excited about the good things we can do in our community."
— Randi, Owner of Epoch Coffee
"From embracing a One Fair Wage compensation model to navigating the pandemic with a community-centric mindset to leaning in to opportunities to feed and nourish our neighbors, we've evolved so much as a business thanks to our affiliation with Good Work Austin. It's very encouraging to see so many colleagues working collaboratively, not competitively, to have a positive impact on the industry. We're honored to be a part of that."
— Jessica, Owner of DrinkWell
