The organization, known for its tireless efforts to combat food insecurity year-round, welcomed Mayor Adams’ hands-on involvement as they provided meals and essential supplies to over 3,000 families this season.

Sharing his gratitude for the team’s dedication, Adams wrote, “Made my way to Richmond Hill this morning to help the @riverfundny team with their annual Thanksgiving distribution. While we helped more than 3,000 families in need this holiday season, this is an organization that is doing their work weekly, and I am so thankful for their dedication to giving back.”
