"RiverFront is honored to assist ChildSavers in their efforts to help local families have a meaningful holiday this year. 2020 came with challenges and changes we never thought were possible, so our REACH committee decided we wanted to help in an even bigger way this year. RiverFront associates look forward to going shopping for toys and items for the kids, it brings us joy to know that we can help bring the holidays directly to these families, especially in these uncertain times." - Jacqueline Carrico, Western Regional Sales Officer
