OUR WORK

On the ground for more than 30 years... RIVER FUND was actualized in response to the ravages of those living with HIV / AIDS.

 

Today, RIVER FUND stands in our response to the devastation of those living on the lines of POVERTY.

Poverty is the intersection of multiple challenges in the life of families, individuals, and seniors, which in combination become overwhelming.

RIVER FUND uses three integrated channels in our 'Family-by-Family' Approach:

EDUCATION - BENEFITS - FOOD

All three tiers are “integrated” within our Mission.

The core of our work is to guide and empower those we serve to move off the lines of poverty.
