Did you know that more than 40% of people in Jackson, Tennessee struggle to provide basic needs for their household? This means that for many, hunger is a constant companion. This is a real struggle for many people in our community. But your investment into our mission can change the story of hunger for them.
When you give to RIFA, you let thousands of people in need know that there is hope, because someone cares enough to take action.
