"It's Thanksgiving time again! Let's make this holiday fun for everyone!"
Serving 22 years as a poverty amelioration organization whose client-base comprises 40% children, The River Fund has been fighting the growth of food-insufficiency in New York—where poverty and its effects, including hunger and homelessness, have hit levels that rival those recorded here during the Great Depression. Our Mission, “to feed and empower those we serve to move beyond the lines of poverty,” makes us the life-line for 160,000 people now facing the Hunger Cliff.
