What else?
To help cover the cost of the program, RACAP is seeking financial donations.
For those interested in assisting, donations should be made payable to RACAP and designate on the check that the donation is specifically for the “General Fund.”
According to an Aug. 5 news release, this form of donation allows the organization to utilize excess funds to support other services once the holiday program is fully funded.
Additional information on RACAP can be found here.
