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.
