  • OPS Back to School BBQ

    Thu Aug 15, 2024

    The First Annual Seattle OPS BBQ in 2023 was a tremendous success, thanks to all of you.

    Together, we made a positive impact in the lives of survivors and survivor youth as they start a new school year. We had an incredible day at Angel Lake Park, filled with back-to-school giveaways, outdoor games, and mouthwatering BBQ catered by Carolyn Sands to accommodate various dietary preferences.

    We were able to distribute 50 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to survivors and survivors with children, and it wouldn't have been possible without your generosity. Thank you for joining us and being a part of this amazing community event. Your support means the world to us!

    More Details on our event in August 2024 Coming Soon!
