OSL Serves

Today we honor Juneteenth-the day freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As we celebrate freedom and reflect on our shared history, we also recognize the ongoing work of creating communities where every person can flourish.

Pride is about more than celebration-it’s about belonging.

At OSL Serves, we believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food, compassionate support, and a community where they are welcomed exactly as they are.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our commitment to serving our neighbors with dignity, respect, and compassion.

🏳️‍🌈 Because food is for everyone.
💜 Because community is for everyone.

May was an incredible month at OSL Serves, and it’s all because of you. 💜

This month, our volunteers gave 809 hours of their time to support our mission. You washed produce, sorted rescued food, chopped vegetables, packed meals, served our guests, and jumped into whatever task was needed.

But more than that, you brought energy, kindness, curiosity, and compassion into our kitchen every single day.

One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing people from all walks of life come together around a shared purpose. Whether you volunteered once or joined us every week, you helped make OSL a welcoming place and helped ensure that nutrient-dense meals reached our neighbors throughout the community.

Thank you for sharing your time with us. Thank you for believing in this work. And thank you for being part of the OSL family.

809 hours. Countless impacts. 💜
