“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
Care & Prayer Team
Riverbend’s Care team was created to provide assistance and prayer for individuals and families in the Riverbend Church Community. Facilitated by the Deacon team, the Care team is comprised of volunteers in the church who desire to love and support other members and attendees in need.
Some of the assistance the Care Team provides is prayer, hospital visitation, meals, transportation, financial assistance, household/outdoor service help, et al.
If this is an emergency or crisis situation, please contact one of the recommended community partners listed under Care Options.
Riverbend is, on occasion, able to assist individuals outside of the Riverbend community; however, we are limited in the resources to assist in these cases. In order for outside requests to be considered you will need one of the following items:
The referral of a Riverbend member or partner
Documentation or a point of contact from a local community organization (e.g. 211, Turning Point, Bloom for Women, etc.)
Riverbend’s Food Pantry serves any resident of Northampton County on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday every month.
Need Food or Toiletries?
If you are having an emergency or a life threatening situation, immediately call 911
