- Our concept is to reinstate man-to-man human kindness among our neighbors.
——————————————————————————–
- We believe that if every government agency, every nonprofit organization and every church charged with social services and charity did their jobs and helped the homeless and hungry that there would be no homelessness and hungry in America–or in the world. In fact, there would be no poverty. But since these entities fail to do their jobs, we will do their jobs for them by providing direct assistance to the needy.
——————————————————————————–
- We believe that if every business in the United States that handles food; grocery stores, convenience stores, wholesale & retail food markets, eat-in, take out and delivery food establishments and fast-food restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, vending operations, and food handlers in general, all donated their about-to-expire-foods to the hungry and homeless there would be no hunger in America. And what we do in America, we can do in the world.
——————————————————————————–
- A “needy” person, by the Christian River Philosophy definition, is simply a person in need, not necessarily a person living in poverty or a destitute. Our definition of a needy person may also include someone who is in need of affection, love or emotional support. They may be a lonely shut-in, a person experiencing a recent death, a parent experiencing a murder or child victimized by human trafficking, a spouse whose partner is missing. Needy is someone in need and if we can help them with their need we should. Compassion is a long word. Long enough for both arms to reach around it and hug it.
