• Raffle prizes: Our Partners in Caring program sponsors several raffles a year at Seattle Housing Authority buildings. The events have become VERY popular, so the prize pool is low. Residents enjoy winning practical household items or gift certificates. If you have something that may be appropriate to donate for a prize, contact the program at 206.694.6731 or PIC@solid-ground.org. We might even be able to arrange to pick it up!
