SWOOP is truly a win-win organization.  In addition to meeting large-scale community needs, members of SWOOP receive benefits such as the following:

- The enjoyment and satisfaction of directly helping those in great need
- Long-lasting friendships with a group of good-hearted women
- The feeling of elation and empowerment from seeing what a group of women can accomplish in one day
- Acquisition of new skills
- The sense of community engendered from SWOOPers working and playing together
- Role modeling for other women, who see that women can do non-traditional tasks
- Service to the community as a whole.

SWOOP builds bridges across disparate parts of the community through its projects, combining an immediate goal of addressing the problem at hand with a longer-range goal of bringing together individuals who otherwise travel in different circles — community-building in the broadest sense, enabled by addressing immediate needs.
