The AlixPartners ESG Impact: Annual Review 2022
PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: RIVER FUND
One of our New York office's local charity partners,
River Fund, takes a 'family by family' approach to help
vulnerable residents of Queens and Brooklyn access
education, benefits, and affordable, nutritious food. In
2022, AlixPartners furthered its partnership with the
poverty reduction organization by:
• Serving 800 seniors with food and livelihood supplies
during a Veterans Day of Service in partnership with our
MUST ERG
• Sponsoring 100 families with holiday gifts during their
Annual Adopt-a-Family holiday program
• Donating 35 refurbished laptops to families and students
in need
• Volunteering on Child Poverty Awareness Day to serve
over 2,300 families with 250,000 pounds of groceries and
fresh produce, plus 3,500 backpacks of school supplies,
clothing, and household essentials
• Supporting the River Fund's application to the
New York State Department of Health's Prevention
and Nutrition Program
"In 2021, I had the pleasure of purchasing
holiday gifts for a woman named Anna
and her family. Her immigration story
reminded me of my family's journey to
the U.S. Like my mom did in the early
90s, Anna recently came to the U.S. with
very little while pregnant. Helping Anna's
family last winter was a no brainer.
During the in-person volunteer day in
2022, our group was introduced to a
woman named Anna who is known to
volunteer regularly, rain or shine, with
her baby. After connecting the dots, I
realized this was the Anna who I'd holiday
shopped for just a year prior. Meeting her,
and her family, was a delight. I can't wait
to volunteer with them again!"
