About RiverWorks

Since RiverWorks began in 2009, the heart of our organization is Community Helping Community. Though there are many worthy organizations nationally and worldwide; we are focused on your time, talents & gifts helping those right here in the Rockford/Greenfield, Minnesota area. One in seven of our neighbors, at some point, will need the services of one of our programs. Our Food Shelf continues to serve families every week- many of them for the very first time. In 2024, we welcomed more first-time clients than ever before. For these families, life had shifted unexpectedly, and an urgent, heartbreaking question had surfaced: "How will I feed my family?" Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were ready to respond-with fresh produce, dairy, pantry staples, and a warm, respectful welcome. In that moment, we were able to offer a vital first hint of hope, one that helps families take the next step forward through uncertain times. Lunch Box Express program was another lifeline, providing free, nutritious and fun foods for children when school cafeterias closed. For many families, the strain of summer grocery budgets is overwhelming and a simple lunch delivered in the middle of the day becomes one less worry, one more reminder that they're not alone. And at the center of it all, our Thrift Store continues to be a blessing in more ways than one. Not only does it offer low-cost clothing, furniture, and household goods to families of all income levels, but its proceeds help fund the very programs-like the Food Shelf and Lunch Box Express-that bring hope to our community. Every donated pair of shoes, every volunteer sorting clothing, every purchase made- together, they create a ripple of kindness that goes far beyond our doors.
