Our team volunteered earlier this week preparing and serving lunch at Riverbend Family Ministries. If you are able to help them out in any way, contact their office! Many thanks to the staff at RFM who do so much for the Riverbend community!

When nighttime Overnight Warming Locations activations are in effect, Riverbend Family Ministries will be open the following day as a daytime warming center— including weekends. We are committed to being available whenever our community needs support most.

🤝 Volunteers Needed
We are seeking volunteers to help during these extended hours. Opportunities include spending time with our friends, assisting with lunch preparation, helping with cleanup, and offering general support. Even a couple of hours can make a meaningful difference.
