Spend $10 on a raffle ticket and you could be dining out once a week for a year at some of the best Santa Monica restaurants.

The Ocean Park Community Center is raising money for its Turning Point Transitional Housing program by offering 52 gift certificates from a variety of restaurants as a raffle prize.

Turning Point provides transitional housing for men and women trying to make the transition from homelessness toward self-sufficiency. The program also offers a array of services to assist clients in reaching their goals of permanent housing and financial stability.

Tickets are $10 for one and $50 for six.
