THE MISSION OF THE RIVER FUND NEW YORK, INC. IS TO EMPOWER THOSE WE SERVE TO MOVE BEYOND THE LINE OF POVERTY. BREAKING THE MULTIGENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY IS ACCOMPLISHED BY PROVIDING ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD PANTRIES IN THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS, COMPLEMENTED BY A WIDE ARRAY OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO STABILIZE HOUSEHOLDS CURRENTLY IN POVERTY, DIRECTING OUR EFFORTS TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY'S YOUTH TO EMPOWER THEM TO SEIZE EVERY OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCING THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
