RRAP's goal is to provide participants with food and household products for seven days of each month. In addition, children on the program receive new seasonal clothes and items from their Christmas wish list. RRAP also fulfills special requests for household items and provides family members with scholarships and waived fees for various Rocky River programs. Eligibility for RRAP requires residency in Rocky River and financial need.
Utmost respect is paid to the privacy of all participants.
When a special request for items such as home furnishings or baby care supplies arises, RRAP turns to the community to fulfill the need. Conversely, when RRAP becomes aware of a potential donation from the community of an appliance or furniture, a notice is posted at the food distribution center at the Beach Education Center. Transportation to retrieve items is the responsibility of the recipient. Through the Rocky River Junior Women's Club, RRAP provides scholarships for children to participate in Recreation Center programs and Rocky River school activities. In addition, fees are waived for other programs such as Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Little League.
