International Day to

December 17th is International Day to End

Workers Outreach Project USA as a memorial and vigil for the victims
of the Green River Killer in Seattle Washington.

*With snack cakes and juice,
it is best to avoid some of the healthier snack bars or apple
juice that usually contains more fiber as this is not the
best switch to a girl on the street that is only used to sugary
foods. |

on private donations,
so monetary donations are also accepted and appreciated.
