Our doors opened to the community in 2010. Since then we have served as a safety net of supplemental food and essentials to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity, 40% of those we serve are children. In 2019 we became a certified SuperShelf.  Through our SuperShelf transformation, we have created a welcoming place for our community to access appealing, healthy food. We strive to break down stereotypes of hunger and provide a place of hope where people are treated with dignity.

Our neighbors are welcomed at the food shelf and are invited to shop alongside one of our volunteers.  Inside, our neighbors will find quality fresh produce, meat, and dairy products.  Along with many choices of other dry goods, breakfast cereals, and even fun snacks for kids.

Are you or a neighbor having to make choices between fuel, utilities, medicine, or food?  You don’t have to make that choice; RiverWorks Food Shelf is here to serve.  We are honored by this great privilege to share food with love for every table.
