Joan Rivers' charity is still doing well after her death more than a year ago. According to a report from People, Melissa Rivers recently talked about her late mother's beneficiaries from "God's Love We Deliver."
The New York-area charity was created to provide meals to those battling HIV, AIDS and other illnesses. The group was Joan Rivers' charity for 25 years.
"My mom was such a diehard New Yorker," Melissa Rivers said.
"'God's Love We Deliver' has become a New York institution, and it was something that meant a lot to my family."
The 47-year-old "Fashion Police" executive producer narrated how she helped Joan Rivers deliver food to the charity organization every Thanksgiving.
"It was just a really big part of our whole family tradition, to be a part of this," Melissa Rivers shared.
The late comedienne's only child admitted that supporting Joan Rivers' charity is one of her ways to cope with grief.
"Grief is a process, and we're still in the thick of it," Melissa Rivers said.
"It's only been a little over a year. But we're doing okay."
Aside from being busy continuing her mother's charity, Entertainment Tonight previously reported about how Melissa Rivers is heading a multi-million dollar medical malpractice lawsuit against Yorkville Endoscopy.
The said Upper East Side clinic is where Joan Rivers had her fateful throat operation that put her in a coma in August 2014.The then 81-year-old comedy icon died a week later on Sept. 4, 2014.
Investigations about Joan Rivers' unexpected death pointed out several irregularities done by Yorkville Endoscopy during the comedienne's fatal surgery.
"[Melissa Rivers] is outraged by the misconduct and mismanagement now shown to have occurred before, during and after the procedure," her legal team said.
Radar Online also recently reported how world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht studied the case and was stunned by the outright "negligence" of doctors from Yorkville Endoscopy.
"You have gross negligence here. ...This is a death that should not have occurred," he pointed out.
A private investigator named Danno Hanks also reviewed Joan Rivers' death and pointed out how Yorkville Endoscopy covered up a lot of things.
"Over and over again, I'm looking at pages filled with stone-walling by the doctors, the center and its staff, missing data logs, suspicious IT personnel and more... It's breathtaking," he said about the apparent cover-up surrounding Joan Rivers' death.
