Greater Service Through Partnerships

The power of RCCS partnerships enables us to efficiently and effectively address emergency food and housing requests. The RCCS collaborative includes the faith community, community donors, other social service agencies and local government. By removing duplication of effort, the RCCS approach produces better results for the community and our clients. Key partners include:
  • Ecumenical: Seven churches utilize RCCS intake to screen and coordinate food distribution. Centralized food outreach allows the faith community to maximize resources with targeted food drives and bulk purchases-and ensures help gets to the needy.

  • Francis House: Counselors, skilled in homeless population issues, work with RCCS to screen and refer families in crisis to the motel voucher program.

  • Breaking Barriers: Working to meet the needs of the medically fragile, Breaking Barriers and RCCS coordinate three-day supplies of nutritional food to nearly 800 people with HIV annually.

  • CARES: Through a NorCal AIDS Challenge Mini Grant, and in cooperation with a CARES registered nutritionist, RCCS provides monthly Food For Fun Classes sharing recipes and cooking methods to prepare nutritious meals primarily from Food Closets foods. Specific information regarding nutrition, diet, shopping and budget planning are provided to the medically fragile.


  • Community Services Planning Council: RCCS is in the top six programs most referred to in Sacramento County. InfoLine guides RCCS clients to available resources in the community.
    • River City Community Services is a tax-exempt organization. Your generous contribution to our program will be used to purchase food to help feed the thousands of individuals and families who annually seek our help. Contributions should be sent to P. O. Box 160204, Sacramento, CA 95816.
