"Feed Everyone - Hold Back Nothing"
Public demand for Food Pantry services has risen by 25% per year since 2004. The River Fund fed more than 63,000 people in 2008 and based on current trends in demand for food, we will surpass that amount in 2009.
River Fund Food Pantry Volunteers
Current economic strains are affecting middle-income New Yorkers with increasing difficulty in affording food. Food poverty is no longer a problem for only low-income New Yorkers. Food insufficiency precipitates diet-related conditions such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension and reduces possibilities for a healthy lifestyle, especially among women, children, seniors, the working poor and people with disabilities. We expect to meet our client's growing needs in 2009 and beyond.
We hope you will support us in reaching our goals:
-
receiving and storing more products
-
increasing distribution services
-
feeding more people and
-
enhancing our programs
Please help us make a difference in the lives of people who live in hunger.
No donation is ever too small.
