Washington Subway restaurants raising funds for mudslide victims

July 8, 2014

Subway restaurants in the Seattle/Tacoma areas of Washington state are partnering with the Oso Chapel Mudslide Disaster Relief Fund to provide support to Snohomish County communities in the wake of the March 22 mudslide.

Throughout July, restaurant patrons can donate to relief efforts at any participating Western Washington Subway locations. According to a news release, donations can be made in any denomination and do not need to be tied to a purchase, and 100 percent of donations received will be awarded to the Oso Chapel Mudslide Disaster Relief Fund to aid in continuing disaster relief efforts.

“The slide not only resulted in loss of life and home, but also has negatively impacted the local economy, transportation routes, and many family budgets. Our task is to lead in the rebuilding process by providing comfort, encouragement and counseling, along with material and practical aid,” said Gary Ray, chairman of the State of Washington Long Range Community Development Team and Pastor of the Oso Chapel. “We would like to thank Subway and Subway customers for their continued support.”
