THIRD QUARTER REPORT
2005

The holidays are fast approaching and River City Community Services is gearing up for another busy season. Nothing would make us happier than to see client numbers decrease. However, our current third quarter statistics are very similar to those of the third quarter in 2004, which means we have to be prepared for a very busy fourth quarter.

The economic picture for the working poor has not improved. Many will be faced with bleak holidays as transportation, utility and housing costs continue to increase. Out of necessity, families will turn to us for food. Please remember our continued and growing need for holiday foods for Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets.
