Bremerton author Richard LeMieux will speak about ways to raise the awareness of the homeless at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 14 at the Unity of Kent church, 218 State Ave. S.
LeMieux wrote “Breakfast at Sally’s,” which outlines his life when he was homeless in Bremerton and often ate meals at the Salvation Army.
The appearance by LeMieux is part of event organized by Kent small-business owner Brian Raynes to thank the people who have helped him sponsor Make a Difference, a dinner served to the homeless every Thursday evening for the past three years.
The meals are offered inside the Unity of Kent church from 6-8 p.m. each Thursday. Raynes used to offer the dinners outside near his auto-detail shop along Railroad Avenue but recently moved the meals to the church.
LeMieux also runs the Willow Charitable Foundation, which seeks to help the homeless through financial assistance to local service organizations. Learn more about the foundation by visiting its Web site: www.willow-foundation.org.
