Even $1 will be doubled to become enough to provide a meal and life-changing hope for one person.

DOUBLE YOUR GIFT

Help beat the shortfall!

These are unusual times for the Mission and our city. With one in 10 neighbors out of work, we're facing surging need just when friends are giving less.

Summer is our most difficult time for raising funds. As the days grow longer and warmer, people spend more time outdoors.

$XXX,XXX is needed by Aug. 31 or difficult choices will have to be made, including cutbacks in services just when people need us most.

Thanks to a grant that came in just in time, every $1 you give now will be doubled.

• $20 instantly becomes $40, enough for about 20 meals.

• Each $50 becomes $100 to get whole families off the
   streets TONIGHT.

• Every $100 is doubled to $200 in meals, hope and
   practical help.

Homelessness isn't taking a summer vacation!

Summer may not be the time you normally think about giving to the Mission. But with nearly 8,000 homeless and hungry people in Seattle right now, your support is urgently needed.

With your help:

We have an opportunity to change the lives of people who might never have come to the Mission if it weren't for the difficult economy. Your gift can help rebuild whole families and make our community a better place for all.

Without your help:

We face the difficult decision of cutting services that help people get off the streets for good. More people will have to be turned away who truly hunger for hope and a chance to improve their lives. Urgently needed resources won't be available just when Seattle needs them most.
