Making Richmond a Better Place

Sometimes, people don't believe us when we tell them we run a child care referral service and a grocery shopping program for seniors. Or they look at us skeptically when we say that, during the holiday season, we operate the Richmond Christmas Fund. "You do all of that?" they ask. To which we answer, "Yep, we do. It's all part of RCRG."
