The River

The River Sharing Loads of God's Love! Helping women help themselves since 2004. For some women, The River is a stepping stone to self-sufficiency.

Serving women and children in our community through a variety of services and the practice of radical hospitality. Since opening our doors on October 4, 2004, The River has served over 1,000 women and children in need. Many are without support networks and are at severe risk of falling between the cracks into greater poverty, homelessness, and desperation. The River has several core programs devel

oped to meet the basic and supportive needs of the women and children we serve. For most women, The River assists in meeting basic needs on a daily basis. Guests value The River for its comprehensive and unique programs and for the compassionate and respectful manner in which they are offered. We believe that every woman has gifts and strengths that she can build on to be successful. It is our hope that The River can bring new life!

When SNAP recipients purchase EBT tokens, we will match their purchase (up to $20) and provide an additional matching amount of our own! This is our own fund-raised way of combatting food insecurity in our region. If you or your company would like to sponsor a week of matching money, ($100 per week), send us a message. Thanks to and we have 20 of our 27 weeks already covered!
