20 for 20 Cash Raffle
Did you know that for an average cost of only $1,500, we can prevent a family from losing their home? Parents can keep their jobs, children can stay in school, and the trauma of entering shelter is avoided. Homelessness prevention is the most effective way to end family homelessness in our community. For only $20, you'll be entered into a raffle to win $5,000 and get us one step closer to our goal of selling 2,000 tickets. This achievement will raise enough money to prevent homelessness for at least 20 families.
Keeping the Promise
