Who We Are

For over 100 years, our mission has been providing compassionate, life-changing assistance to families on their path to self-sufficiency.

  •  As of July 2023, Bidwell Riverside Center and Hawthorn Hill officially merged into Families Forward, an organization where the original four programs - Bidwell Pantry, Child Development Center, New Directions Shelter, and The Home Connection - work together to provide compassionate, life-changing assistance to families and their path to self-sufficiency.

What We Do

Our 4 programs focus on basic needs: food, housing, and early childhood development.
