If you shop at Ralphs stores, this is a request to please sign-up for the community contributions program and designate Sewa International as the beneficiary non-profit. You can do this quickly by registering at http://www.ralphs.com. It only takes a few minutes and does not cost you anything.

Folks who were already registered earlier must re-register after September 1, 2009 for your shopping proceeds to continue to benefit Sewa International. Our apologies for the inconvenience but this annual re-registration is a requirement of the Ralphs program. Thanks for your support. More details and procedure below.

If you shop at Ralphs, you can use your Ralph's REWARDS card to support Sewa International at no cost to you.
