Every January, volunteers throughout Seattle and King County come together in a combined effort to determine the number of homeless people who are either sleeping in the streets or in shelters.  This effort is called “One Night Count.”  The number of people counted for 2010 was a staggering 8,559.

We want to lower the number of homeless people in Seattle, so we have created a campaign called “Each Person Counts” to draw attention to this cause and help us work together to change the trajectory of homelessness in Seattle.

We’ve worked closely with B-BAM, an amazing local promotions company here in Seattle to create shirts that have a visual representation of this campaign.  B-BAM is our corporate sponsor in this initiative, creating the design, and helping us provide the best quality shirts at cost that allows us to turn the profits directly back to the Mission.

Every time a shirt is purchased, the number in the center will add up until we reach the number 8,559. At that point, every homeless person counted will be represented by someone who cared enough to contribute to this campaign.  100% of the profits will be used towards the cost of providing food and shelter to one of our overnight homeless guests at that Mission. While they are here, they will be presented with options and opportunities to end their personal battle with homelessness.

Please join us in taking a stand and reducing the number of homeless people in Seattle and King County.  Your contribution and the act of wearing your shirt will demonstrate that you are a part of the positive change.
