The River’s curbside meal program, called FAM (Family At-Home Meals), provides to-go meals for everyone in a household to share in the comfort of their homes. These healthy, balanced meals are freshly made by The River’s professionally trained chefs and volunteers. The menu changes weekly to include meat and vegetarian options, along with a side salad and fresh fruit.
Starting March 18, 2025, The River will no longer offer an option to pick up FAM only without registering for curbside groceries. This means that clients will be able to pick up meals once a week instead of up to four times each week. Meals will be available to those who register to receive curbside groceries. The reasoning for this change is to improve equitability, process efficiency, and program sustainability.
