Other Ways to Give

The largest and most important of our efforts, the Annual Fund consists  of our annual and special mail appeals and provides us with the revenue  to run the DRCC on a day to day basis, to keep our programs affordable  to those that need them, to provide scholarships to those in need, and  the upkeep of our facility.  Your gift to the Annual Fund is an  investment in our ministry 

Throughout the year we hold special events designed to be enjoyable to  those that attend and beneficial to the DRCC.  “More Than Just  Desserts”, our annual social held in the fall of the year is a  delightful evening of fun, food and friends that has raised over $75,000  for the DRCC since 1999.  Your participation in these events is an  investment in our present. 

The Mary J. Kakretz Endowment Fund, begun in honor of one of the DRCC’s  most cherished friends and loyal supporters, is essentially the planning  vehicle for the future of our Retreat House.  The success and growth of  this fund will allow us to expand and enhance our programs and  facility, weather financial storms that may occur, or survive a severe  financial crisis.  Your gift to the Endowment Fund is an investment in  our future.
