2014 Robin Hood Heroes - Rose Jacob, The River Fund New York The River Fund New York was launched 23 years ago as a volunteer organization aimed at “championing the worth” in those who have no voice. From day one, it served as a model for innovative direct-service approaches to combating poverty and was among the first to help people living with HIV/AIDS in New York City. It is the leading poverty frontline center in Queens, helping more than 14,000 families annually address material hardship with weekly groceries, benefits access and enrollment, and support and education pathways from cradle to college. The River Fund New York pioneered federal support for the mobile food pantry concept, which is replicated nationwide. Post-Hurricane Sandy, it was the first group to arrive in the flood zones with emergency food, demonstrating again the value of mobile product-distribution capabilities. _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Classic Radio _______ FB: r-js/1vz7Pcz / TW: r-js/1kHd2Qt / Listen to LIPSapp Classic Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #classicrock #rollingstones #ledzeppelin #santana #eagles #zztop #thewho #beatles #elvis #jimihendrix #dylan #acdc #michaeljackson #pinkfloyd #madonna #u2
