CHRISTMAS IN JULY

OSL invites you to
participate in a
4th of July extravaganza!


The summer months are extremely difficult for a program like ours. Food, supplies, and monetary, donations all drop off as people head out of town for vacations, reunion's, and summer celebrations.
This year we are promoting
"Christmas in July" as a way to embrace that holiday spirit we all have in November and December.
Are you interested in purchasing a meal, a baseball cap, or a new tee shirt for a child or an adult this summer?
Would you like to help celebrate the 4th of July by serving at the OPERATION: Sack Lunch Celebration?
$10 will purchase seven new baseball caps.
You can purchase 25 meals for $37.50.
$50 will purchase a sleeping bag and several tee shirts.
$150 will purchase 10 new sleeping bags and
$500 will purchase two pallets of much needed bottled water, a rare commodity for those desperate for a cool drink on a warm day. We need your help and involvement to help make this day a special celebration of our freedom. If you are interested please Susan at 206 396-8123
or call toll free 866 277-9252.
Tax deductible donations can be sent to:

OSL
PO BOX 1231

A Gift from the Heart

Alee Allen, 16, has been learning and working with the homeless firsthand. She says, "Learning about homelessness has helped me find pieces of myself. I have looked at life through the eyes of others, and have been surprised time and time again by the people you  meet, once you put the label of homeless behind you. While the people who live on the street or in shelters don't have a house, they do have a feeling of community and love that you find in every smile and around each corner."  For Alee's 16th birthday celebration she asked friends to make a donation to OPERATION: Sack Lunch in place of gifts.

OPERATION: Sack Lunch and all those in our line thank you for the $500 raised!!
