Riverview Center Awarded Grant for Supplies

Riverview Center has received a grant from Variety – the Children’s Charity.

Riverview Center is a non-profit organization providing sexual assault support services. They serve fourteen counties in the Northeast Region of Iowa, including Delaware, Dubuque, Buchanan, Jones, Linn, Clayton and Fayette counties.

Riverview Center is a safe space – and their services are free regardless of biological sex, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, immigration status, English proficiency, race and/or ethnicity, incarceration status, disability or background. 

The Variety grant will be used to provide Riverview Center’s advocates and therapists supplies to custom-tailor their services to the needs of the children served, including kinetic sand and other items to address sensory needs, therapeutic games, fidget toys, snacks for the youth who have appointments during normal meal/snack times or who have food insecurity, art and journaling supplies to support trauma-informed coping skills and therapeutic interventions.
