MAY 29th BURGERVILLE CANCELLED
Since early Tuesday morning, Cowlitz Chaplains have been actively working with and ministering to the families who lost loved ones in the Nippon incident. We will continue providing services until all victims have been recovered and identified. Therefore we are cancelling tomorrow’s fundraiser at the Kelso Burgerville, and will reschedule at a later date.

We are excited to introduce our newest chaplain, Chaplain Jonathan. We planned to officially start him June 1st, but yesterday's Nippon incident changed that. Jonathan took time off his job to be at the AWPPW hall yesterday and today, and he may be back there tomorrow. As a chaplain, you never know where or when you'll be needed. Welcome aboard, Jonathan!

We would greatly appreciate it if you would get your lunch, dinner, or both at Burgerville (600 W Main St in Kelso) on Friday May 29th between 11am and 7pm. Why? Because the Cowlitz Chaplaincy will receive a donation of 20% of your purchase, at no additional cost to you! The only catch is you MUST let them know you want your purchase to be included, so mention the Chaplaincy and we both win - your donation provides funds so the Chaplaincy can continue providing services to 1st Responders and those in our community who have had a tragic event occur to a loved one. We hope to see you there!

If you order ahead using the Burgerville app, please use promo code BV GIVES, and 20% of your purchase will be included also. That's a sweet deal!
