This program encourages our congregation to support local teachers by providing them with the resources and encouragement they need to thrive in the classroom.

In preparation for Thanksgiving, we gather and distribute meals to families, ensuring they have the opportunity to celebrate and give thanks together.

Each holiday season, we partner with communities in Peru to provide gifts and essentials, sharing the joy of Christmas with those who need it most.

This campaign focuses on creating a season of hope and joy, providing various resources and support to those in need during the holidays.

Blessing Baskets

We are excited to introduce our Blessing Bags initiative, providing essential items and care packages to those experiencing homelessness, showing them they are valued and loved.

Stock the Station is a community-driven effort to collect non-perishable pantry items for our local fire and police stations in Harford and Cecil County. Our brave firefighters work tirelessly to keep us safe, and now it's our turn to support them by ensuring they have essential supplies on hand. 

Throughout the year, we actively support our homeless community by providing warm meals and essential resources, affirming their dignity and worth.

At Riverside Church, we are committed to helping our community through our monthly partnership with Fresh Start Furnishings in Harford County. Our dedicated volunteers spend time with individuals and families in need, assisting them in selecting essential household items as they transition out of homelessness. Beyond providing furniture, we offer companionship and support, fostering dignity and hope. Together, we’re not just furnishing homes; we’re building brighter futures for our neighbors. Join us in making a meaningful difference!

Our Benevolence Fund is a vital resource dedicated to providing support to individuals and families in need within our community. This fund enables us to extend a helping hand through financial assistance, essential resources, and compassionate care. Whether it's helping with utility bills, housing support, or other unexpected expenses, our goal is to alleviate hardship and bring hope to those facing challenging circumstances. We believe in fostering a spirit of generosity and kindness, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience blessings in their time of need. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors and embody the love and support of our community.
