Win $100 Worth of Deliciousness from Olivar!

Today, when you donate to NW Harvest, you also have the opportunity to win $100 in delicious food from Olivar!

To enter the contest, you've gotta do a little work. But it's fun work! First, donate to NW Harvest. Easy. Your money will help them feed hungry families all over Washington this season. Then, forward your receipt to charity@thestranger.com with an acrostic of Olivar.

What's an acrostic? From Wikipedia: "An acrostic is a poem or other form of writing in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out a word or a message."

In this case, because it's one word, each letter will be a new line. Here's a very terrible example!

Obnoxious
Little
Idiots
Voice
Annoying
Ruberic

Now it's your turn! Yours will probably be better. Donate here, send your receipt and acrostic here, and do it by midnight tonight. The best acrostic wins, and the winner will be rewarded with a $100 gift card to use at Olivar. Yum!

It costs only 67 cents to feed a family of three a meal through Northwest Harvest. GIVE TO NORTHWEST HARVEST NOW and send us your commenter handle along with your receipt, and we'll set you up with a SWASHBUCKLING HERO badge.

You know this is stupid, right? I mean, seriously, just because it spells something...You guys have lost all taste. You're trying to raise money to feed the poor, but do you have to make it into some sick game?

GOD DAMMIT, STUPID FORMATTING INCONSISTENCIES. My previous comment was an acrostic in the preview window. Guess what it said.

I spelled it wrong on purpose because, like I said, it is a terrible example. (That is a lie, but I'm going to stand by it. YOLO. DGAF. Whatever.)
