This Year's Charities
Proceeds from the 2013 RCU Charity Classic will benefit three homeless shelters in our area. They include:
Sojourner House-Eau Claire, WI

Representing a cross-section of the community, guests include adult men and women ranging from 18 to 77 years old. Overnight stays range from a single night up to 90 nights.
Grace Place-Somerset, WI
Grace Place is an emergency housing facility where residents stay an average of 60 days. The facility can hold up to 24 individuals (including families) and is staffed 24/7 by the Salvation Army personnel. Grace Place provides people with a safe place to live while they are transitioning back into their own housing.
The Family Place-St. Paul, MN
The Family Place in St. Paul is a day center for families living without permanent housing. Guests spend the evening at area churches and then are bused to the facility for meals and other activities. The Family Place offers safety, opportunities and encouragement to help move guests from despair to hope, from uncertainty to stability.
