Raffle & Donations - Helping Afghan Refugees in the DMV

​A number of Afghan refugees are resettling in the DMV, and we'd like to give them a warm Rotaract welcome. We are collecting items and raising money for Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area, who are helping Afghan refugees resettle in the area. We'll be accepting items to donate and holding a raffle at our Rotaract picnic on August 28, 2021 from 11:00 - 2:00 at Hains Point park.

Ways to Help!
1.) Purchase raffle tickets! Tickets may be purchased for $10 each at the picnic or remotely via Venmo. (Venmo @RCWDC and specify that you are purchasing raffle tickets and how many you would like). The drawing will be held during the picnic. The raffle winner will receive a $100 gift card to Clyde's Restaurant Group!

2.) Donate household goods! You can drop off your items at the picnic, or email [email protected] to arrange item pickup!
