Contribution will aid programs for at-risk children and their parents
SACRAMENTO, CA — Oct.4, 2016 — In another bold commitment to Sacramento’s future, River City Bank issued a generous donation check in the amount of $6,617.01 to Sacramento-based National Human Development Foundation (NHDF). NHDF provides educational services for young children while supporting their often struggling parents to achieve educational and employment goals.
“The future of this region is in our children,” noted River City Bank President and CEO Steve Fleming. “We applaud and support NHDF’s mission to provide comprehensive child development services and an essential boost for parents. On a personal note,” added Fleming, “NHDF is one of River City Bank’s very first business clients; our relationship with this wonderful organization dates back to 1978.”
The donation consists of contributions from River City Bank as a corporate entity, as well as internal fundraising efforts from its staff. As part of an annual tradition, River City Bank initiated a series of fundraising activities to encourage staff to provide donations to NHDF as its charity of choice in 2016.
“We are so grateful to River City Bank for this contribution,” noted NHDF Executive Director Michael Kurtz. “Our mission is to provide children with an emotionally supportive and intellectually-stimulating environment, while providing parents with quality, affordable and reliable child-care services. This generous contribution will help us to better serve at-risk families with our proven and innovative programs.”
NHDF operates three preschool centers and one infant-and-toddler center, with the capacity to help nearly 200 children and their parents every day. The organization is renovating a fifth property to extend services to Del Paso Heights and is working to develop its outdoor activity centers into Certified Nature Explore Classrooms in conjunction with the Arbor Day Foundation. NHDF has a track record of not just helping children, but also helping their parents to improve their socioeconomic status through employment.
