Thanks for a Great Annual Giving Campaign & Giving Tuesday!

This year we used Giving Tuesday as a kick-off to a 10-day "Hope Through Housing" campaign. Through the generosity of our donors our goal of $3000 was surpassed, and we were able to unlock the full $3000 offered up as a matching incentive by anonymous donors. This money will be used to make sure RPC and United House are stable financially as we move into our next project. Our support community rocks! Thank you!
