It's truly ALL about the betterment of our children and their education!"

“I was overjoyed when I saw the bright smiles on the faces of the children at Riverbend Head Start. They do such a great job of helping to educate children and motivating parents so they no longer live in poverty. I just can't imagine a child so young experiencing the struggles they deal with, but I'm happy they have Riverbend Head Start to help.”
