Case in point: the 500 Bags Project in SODO:
A fast and fun event leveraging time, compassion and care… rather than 100% cash. Review your awesomeness now.
Dear Seattle,
You are a scrappy, grass-roots, get-it-done, big-hearted bunch.
If Saturdays 500 Bags Project for our homeless neighbors was any indication (and we know it is) your capacity for showing up, and sharing hope is… tremendous.
You did it! Were positively amped about the 500 bags of simple essentials filled, zipped and distributed
.in about 30 minutes!
We were planning to spend 3 hours and you got it wrapped up in half of one. You’re amazing!
Because you get it.
Its not about the toothbrush.
Its not about the granola bar.
Its about thinking of someone else.
Someone whos living on the street.
Having a tough time.
Right now.
Its about showing up.
With kids, friends, parents…and strangers.
To take some simple actions that will let the people with very little on the street know that someone else is thinking of them.
Also a treat to have Kiro 7 and King 5 taping segments and interviewing participants.
You blow us away, Seattle!
Appreciate your heart, your time, your willingness to show up with us and help others in our shared community.
Your message of hope rang loud and clear in this fast & simple give & go event.
And we heard you.
500 Bags was a fine start…and clearly youre up for more.
What do you say? 5,000 bags for the next round?
