RC Senior Center hosts ‘Christmas in July’ raffle – The Inter-Mountain

The Randolph County Senior Center is hosting a Christmas in July fundraiser through July 25. Laura Ward, the executive director, is shown here with some of the prizes that have been donated by local residents and businesses.

ELKINS A Christmas in July raffle is underway at the Randolph County Senior Center, as part of a fundraiser that will benefit the countys nutrition program in three locations.

Winners are selected daily through July 25, with more than $6,000 worth of prizes donated by generous local individuals and businesses, said Laura Ward, the executive director of the Randolph County Senior Center.

Its fun, and its a nice way to raise money, Ward said, noting the fundraiser will support the lunch programs at the Senior Center in Elkins as well as the nutrition sites in Mill Creek and Harman.

She said food costs add up quickly, and seniors are offered meals on a donation basis. Those who cannot afford the suggested donation of $3 per meal just pay what they can, and some folks cannot pay anything.

The meals program does receive federal funding as well as generous support from the Randolph County Commission and the United Way, and Ward said Thursday night bingo at the Senior Center and the July raffle bring in additional funding.

Prizes range from bingo packets, collectibles and handmade gifts to cash and gift certificates. Each winning ticket is placed back into the drawing, so one person could win multiple times.

A full list of prizes and additional details about the raffle are available by calling 304-636-4747 or stopping by the Randolph County Senior Center, which is located at the corner of 5th Street and Railroad Avenue in Elkins.

In addition to lunch offered five days a week, the Senior Center also offers in-home care options; transportation services; a large range of activities, such as exercise programs, craft classes, games and book clubs; and other services.
