RCNA COVID-19 Relief Fund

In this time of uncertainty, the Reed-Cooke Neighborhood Association has created the Emergency Relief Grant program to offer micro-grants to residents of Adams Morgan who have lost their jobs as a result of the Coronavirus Health Crisis and are unable to receive UI benefits.

The Reed-Cooke Neighborhood Association is raising money for the Relief Fund and will match donations up to $10,000. All donations are tax-deductible through RCNA’s 501(c)(3) status, and 100% of funds will be distributed to those in need.

Thanks to all who showed up and volunteered for the August 31 neighborhood clean up.

The cleanup was a great success, we had 15 volunteers and collected over 40 bags of trash!

Thank you for taking the time and for all your help cleaning the neighborhood.

We intend to make the neighborhood cleanups quarterly and hope to see you at the next event!
