Exciting News! Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program

Posted on by

We are so excited to share that RCAP Solutions has been selected to be a part of the Hannaford Helps Reusable Bag Program, which is designed to make it easy for customers to contribute to their local community while supporting the environment.

For the month of September, each time a $2.50 reusable Community Bag is purchased at the Hannaford located at 21 Timpany Blvd, Gardner, MA 01440, $1 will be donated to RCAP Solutions. This is a great way to raise awareness, support the environment and fundraise for our cause.

Let’s get started! We can begin by spreading the news to our friends and family. Call, send emails, and post on social media. The more people who learn about the program and purchase the Community Bag during the month of September, the more money we will raise.

To learn more about this program, please visit hannaford.bags4mycause.com.

RCAP Solutions is participating in a Facebook Like Challenge, to gain 500 new page likes during the month of August.

We hit a milestone of 250 new likes, which brings us to the halfway point.

We have our work cut out for us though, as we need 250 more in the next 10 days!

For every “like” our Facebook page receives, $1 will be donated by our generous sponsor, Clinton Savings Bank.

If we meet our goal of reaching 500, our total will be matched by an anonymous donor, bringing us to $1,000!

Please visit https://www.facebook.com/RCAPSolutions and give our page a “like”.

KPM is RCAP’s “Exclusive Mobile Sponsor”

Posted on by

Girl With Mobile Smart PhoneRCAP Solutions, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Kevin P. Martin & Associates, P.C. (KPM) as “Exclusive Mobile Sponsor”.

This sponsorship allows RCAP Solutions to offer a mobile giving program, which utilizes new technology to raise funds from mobile phone users.

“KPM is thrilled to be the Exclusive Mobile Sponsor for RCAP Solutions,” stated Karen Kent, Principal at KPM. “Many nonprofit organizations are searching for new ways to increase fundraising activity and we applaud their ‘outside of the box’ thinking. I have worked with many non-profits and believe that using new technologies for fundraising shows creativity that will be appealing to a very wide audience. We are pleased to partner with RCAP Solutions, as they continue to support the community and help so many in need, especially at a time when the demand for RCAP Solutions’ services is growing.”

“Mobile technology is changing the way nonprofit organizations do business,” said Karen A. Koller, President & CEO of RCAP Solutions. “RCAP Solutions understands the importance of using resources wisely; however we believe that new technology can have a significant impact in engaging clients, volunteers and donors. Our hope is that a mobile giving campaign will attract a wider audience of donors and KPM’s sponsorship allows 100% of those donations to directly benefit RCAP Solutions programs and positively impact families in need.”

KPM is the first business to participate in “RCAP Plus” a new sponsorship program offered by RCAP Solutions.  “RCAP Plus” provides sponsorship opportunities for businesses and communities interested in supporting the many important programs provided by RCAP Solutions that assist individuals and families throughout Central Massachusetts and the rural communities across the Northeastern United States.

RCAP Solutions is primarily supported by state and federal funding sources; however with shrinking funds and required funding matches, it is becoming more difficult to provide the necessary programs to clients.  RCAP Solutions works with hundreds of families each year, providing the necessary stabilization services for those in need, in order to keep them safe, healthy and in permanent housing.  With over 2,000 families living in hotels across the Commonwealth and more families becoming homeless every day, the need for additional funds is continually growing.

Try it out now, text “RCAP” to 56512.  Every dollar of your donation will support our HOME for the Holidays Campaign.  Click here for more information.
