Street Roots Summer Rally!
Always wanted to help Street Roots? Become a
captain and raise a little or a lot with your friends and
family.
How does it work? Individuals create a team and
become captains. Captains then recruit friends
to give online. (Takes 5 minutes to set up, is
super easy and we can help).

We’re hoping to get some diverse
individuals and interests rallying to support
the organization. There will be prizes and a
blow-out Street Roots barbecue in June.
The event will last from Friday, May 25 to
Thursday, June 21.
To learn more, write to israel@streetroots.org, or call us at 503-228-5657.

The sun’s out! Time to switch from hot coffee to iced.
And remember to tip your baristas in direct proportion
to their visible tattoos. They will appreciate the love.
And on the way out remember to pick up another copy
of Street Roots from the vendor outside. Share the
extra with a friend and get the good word out!
