Volunteer Opportunities
It’s a feeling of satisfaction. A sense of fulfillment. It’s about providing nutrition while nourishing a connected community. The River counts on neighbors to help neighbors in need.
We invite you to step inside and take a seat at the table. See who we serve. See how we serve. See why we serve.
