Corporate Cares:
Partnering for Change
At Riverbank, we believe radical generosity can change everything. Our Corporate Care program invites businesses, schools, clubs, and community groups to join us in meeting real needs for families in crisis, from appliances and beds to furniture and baby supplies.
In addition to challenges, we offer plenty of hands-on ways to get involved, like hosting diaper or hygiene drive, inviting us for a lunch and learn, or having our founder speak to your community.
Now, through our partnership with Charipillar, you can also support Riverbank by taking on wellness challenges that promote healthier habits while raising funds for families in need.
Whether you give, volunteer, donate goods, or participate in a challenge, you’re helping prevent foster care, stabilize homes, and bring hope across Southern California.
