Assistance League of Metro Columbus chose to provide 60 school aged children from the Riverview International Center with kits of school supplies, health and hygiene items, an energy bar, two oranges and a little candy.
Eight members gathered at the office on Feb. 22 to pack the items and one member delivered them, along with 60 children’s books. Due to the Pandemic health restrictions, members were unable to view the excitement and smiles the children exhibited.
Riverview International Center empowers our New American neighbors by supporting individuals, strengthening families, and nurturing community. At the Riverview International Center, individuals receive assistance with the basic needs of new Americans in the Riverview Drive neighborhood. Their office is a place where people can walk in and get help with any question they may have about navigating life in America. The goal is to be a flexible and community oriented resource for whoever comes through our door. Some of the services the Center provides are English Classes, Employment Services, Computer Literacy, Citizenship Assistance, Legal Clinic, Sewing Class, Homework & Reading Help.
The Worthington and Clintonville Spotlight weekly papers did an interview and article for their next week paper.
