Riverview International Center empowers our New American neighbors by supporting individuals, strengthening families, and nurturing community. Riverview International Center (the RIC) was founded in 2015 to help meet the basic needs of New Americans in the Riverview Drive neighborhood. We operated in an apartment on the street for 8 years, and saw the numbers of people coming for services and programs growing substantially each year. We have grown from serving a dozen women each week to serving 1884 individuals in 2024, with more than 11,450 visits to our office. In 2024 the apartment building where we had been working for 8 years was sold, forcing us to move to a new location. While the move was sudden and costly, it ultimately led us to a great location off Henderson Road, where we are able to serve a more diverse population of immigrants and provide more programs in a significantly more comfortable, welcoming space. In 2024, newcomers from 52 countries found assistance at the RIC, and an average of 600 people are served each month.
