Community Reformed has partnered with Rivers of Mercy Children's Home for over fifteen years.
Community has had a sponsorship program with Rivers of Mercy for most of that time. Some sponsorship program participants have had a relationship with their sponsored child for over ten years.
In September 2024, the sponsorship program was relaunched with clear plans, an improved donation portal, and increased organization. The sponsorship program is currently organized by a volunteer program coordinator, Taylor Hofman.
Taylor was first introduced to Rivers of Mercy at age thirteen and immediately fell in love with the ministry and the children. Taylor has been connected with Rivers of Mercy for over ten years, visited numerous times, and served at the Children's Home in various capacities over the years. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to coordinate the program and support both Community Reformed and Rivers of Mercy in this way.
