Service Over Four Decades

River City Community Services provides compassionate assistance, nutritionally balanced food and emergency housing aid to people growing toward self-reliance.

River City Community Services (RCCS), a 501(c)(3) charity, is the only Sacramento outreach program that serves anyone in Sacramento County with food and emergency housing aid. Its mission is to provide compassionate assistance, nutritionally-balanced emergency food, crisis housing aid, and hope to people working toward self-reliance. In 2007, RCCS provided food to 29,122 people, compared to 24,000 in 2006. In the last three months of the year alone, requests for food assistance increased 40% while the cost for RCCS to purchase and acquire food increased 35%.


Empty Bowls, one of the agency's most important sources of funds, will be held Tuesday, March 11th, 2008. For $25, attendees enjoy a delicious soup luncheon prepared by area chefs and restaurants, and take home a bowl made by students and artists from throughout the region, as a powerful reminder of those whose bowls remain empty.
