Does food assistance encourage dependence?
The assistance given by River City Food Bank is intended to foster independence, by helping someone get through a rough time. Many of the people who seek our help have been keeping their heads above water until something unexpected happened. Car expenses. Medical bills. Higher gas prices. Reduced hours at work. Three-day emergency food supplies from River City Food Bank can help people get by, so that they can remain independent. A little help, and a little compassion, can make a big difference.
