Donations in-Kind
There are items that are needed by our clients and programs that RCL cannot provide because the funding is not there. Educational videos, hobby materials, computer equipment and personal items. If a family is unable to volunteer or make a monthly pledge, they could provide support by donating some of these items. For every donation, each family will receive a donation receipt for record keeping and tax purposes. Contact an RCL representative if you have potential items for donation and they will inform you if the item is needed.
