Riverbank’s Veteran Move-In Kits provide essential household items to veterans transitioning into stable housing. From bedding and kitchen basics to everyday necessities, these kits help transform empty spaces into safe, comfortable homes—offering dignity, stability, and a fresh start.
The Problem:
1 in 3 people in CA are living in poverty.
Riverbank was founded to change that.
We believe loving our neighbors means ensuring everyone has access to the essentials:
No one should have to live in poverty
Sometimes, all you need is a little help
A little help can give someone life changing hope
That’s our mission—sharing radical generosity of strangers so that people feel the outrageous love of their neighbors.
The Solution: YOU
When we meet these needs:
Children stay with their parents instead of entering foster care
Families move from shelters into stable housing
Women rescued from trafficking find comfort and security
End the cycle of poverty —one act of radical generosity at a time.

Our warehouse is filled with donations from generous families and companies—but what comes in quickly goes out. We deliver these items everyday directly to families in crisis, for free.
The heart behind Riverbank is to restore dignity and provide hope! So if you wouldn’t have it in your home, we likely won’t take it.
