With 2010, we proudly celebrate our 30th anniversary at Rivershore. Since 1980, Rivershore has grown from a single location serving 14 people on Lower River Road in Youngstown to an agency serving more than 175 people with a dedicated staff of 150 working throughout Niagara County. Today based in Lewiston, Rivershore is recognized as a COMPASS agency by New York state, one of just seven statewide. This ranks Rivershore in the top 1 percent in New York state for quality in our field.
