Sometimes, families need a helping hand. We work directly with social service providers, educators, and community leaders to provide stopgap funds, clothing, food, and other support to families during their most challenging moments. Then, we work to connect them with the ongoing support they need to thrive.
We believe that EVERY child and family in Providence deserve to have their basic needs met — regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, religious creed, or immigration status.
When we support families, we support our future.
