On October 28, we will gather to celebrate our cherished, dedicated, and committed RIVER FUND Community; and nearly 35 years of taking poverty personally.
We often talk about community and what it truly means to provide programs, groceries, essentials, and services with dignity and humanity. Our work at RIVER FUND has shown that when we come together as a COMMUNITY, we can empower those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty.
As we look to the future, we are beginning to shape the next phase of that commitment. One that will allow us to serve in even deeper, more lasting ways: RIVER FUND Community Empowerment Center.
At our core, RIVER FUND operates within a culture of care, respect, and empathy. When individuals rise, they lift their families, and in turn, their communities.
Join us at the intersection of humanity and service.
The Kargman Family Empowers a Community of Care.
We are THRILLED to recognize the Kargman Family – Jill, Harry, Sadie, Fletch, and Ivy – for their deep and unwavering commitment to service of the wider New York Community.
From delivering holiday cheer by wearing Turkey and Easter Bunny costumes, to providing food and essentials to our Home Bound Program clients, the Kargman Family has consistently shown up for some of our most vulnerable neighbors.
They have mentored our Youth, invested in our programs, and helped strengthen and expand OUR COMMUNITY through their generosity and humanity.
'the best part of who we are is in the caring of each other'
