Thanks to Jennifer Lulow for sharing the photos and story of holiday giving:

Three Seattle Lutheran High School seniors – Eric Bauman, Jacob Fay, and Brandon Lulow – cooked Christmas breakfast for the homeless in memory of their football coach JB Lusher, who passed away earlier this year.

JB did this for his high school senior project and continued serving the homeless every Christmas.

These young men wanted to keep the tradition going to honor him.

They also put gift bags together with hats and gloves that they gave out when they served breakfast.

Thank you to the Lusher family for making this possible!

The trio’s plan was mentioned in this Seattle Times story last month about the football team’s triumphant year as they coped with losing not one but two mentors.

My daughter and i partisapated last year 2 years in this act of giving back…the first year driving back to west seattle i asked my adult daughter what she thought as it was the first time for both of us. Her responce was with watery eyes “dad, i have everything i need, i dont need anything” i could not have agreed more
We have helped out two years since, and have committed to doing this for years to come. JB and BD would be very proud to see this simply act of caring has continued! This is the true sprit of Christmas. Job well done
