460 Pine St, Providence“I grew up near amos house and recently attended a training program held there. I was wildly impressed with the growth it has seen since my youth when it was "that place that serves free food to homeless people." While the populace does majorly consist of people contending with some form of addiction or mental health struggle, Amos House is a treasure trove of resources and support, with all manner of social services for anyone who may need them. They're doing amazing work.”

645 Elmwood Ave, Providence“I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Tatayana and Rayanny at Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate while assisting Shagufta with her immigration case.
Tatayana's expertise and thorough understanding of the immigration process were invaluable. She made sure every detail was covered, providing clear explanations and guidance every step of the way. Her dedication to helping us was truly remarkable.
Rayanny's support was equally impressive. She went above and beyond to ensure Shagufta felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. Her kindness and patience were greatly appreciated, making a complex and stressful situation much more manageable.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Tatayana and Rayanny, Shagufta's case was handled efficiently and successfully. I highly recommend Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island for their exceptional service and the amazing team they have. Thank you, Tatayana and Rayanny, for your dedication and hard work!

“Attended a corporate event here that included an art making workshop along with a walking art tour. Awesome experience and very educational. Love what this group is doing.”
“You can tell these women put their heart and souls into the food. It is a perfect mix of middle eastern quizine. Their bread rivals five stars bread in town and their meals are a beautiful medley of flavors that light up your senses. To eat this food, the first word came to mind was happiness. I ate their lamb meal and couldn’t wait to find out when they were on the delivery apps so i could order through them.”
“Donated two bikes today to Recycle a Bike (don't worry I have a couple more of my own in my apartment!) I talked with Mike who told me that the grants they had in the past have dried up and they depend on their volunteers and donations to stay open--now more than ever. They still have to pay the rent, after all. Consider your three "Ts". Time, Treasure, and Talent and if you could help them out. RAB are a great non-profit who provide several services to the general public; keeping bikes out of the landfill and on the road, reducing the local carbon footprint while reducing car traffic, teaching people how to repair their bikes, and making people smile. No doubt more things that I'm not thinking of right now! Please Visit and support this business!”

188 Valley St Suite 125, Providence“I have seen firsthand how this organization can drastically change the trajectory of a child’s life. I wish more people, especially men of all colors; regardless of economic status would give as much as 1 hour a week to these children.”
“The Rhode Island Foundation was organized at the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co. in June 1916 by a small group of prominent Rhode Islanders. I have been involved in several events sponsored by the Rhode Island Foundation and I believe they do a great job for the state and the local communities. This non profit is committed to strengthening Rhode Island through strategic initiatives in education, health, and economic security, as well as through impact investing, diversity, inclusion, and equity work. The Fund for Rhode Island supports causes and organizations throughout Rhode Island that are deemed to be for the greatest good of the community. This unrestricted fund supports the Foundation's mission to meet the needs of the people of Rhode Island.The Rhode Island Foundation works with generous Rhode Islanders who support not only Fund for Rhode Island, but also establish funds (unrestricted, field of interest, designated, scholarship, donor advised, corporate advised, organizational endowment, supporting organization) with funds established during donors' lifetimes or through planned giving.The Foundation invests in the following four strategic initiatives, with goals for both short-term progress and long term impact:-Educational Success: Improve educational outcomes for all public school students.-Economic Security: Improve Rhode Island's environment for economic growth so all Rhode Islanders can prosper.-Healthy Lives: Improve access to and quality of primary care for all Rhode Islanders.-Inspiring Philanthropy: Increase philanthropy in Rhode Island.In 2021, the donors thoughtfully trusted the Foundation with $98 million in new funds. The investment returns for the year were over 20%, and the endowment now stands at $1.4 billion.Anyone interested in estate planning to benefit the Rhode Island Foundation can contact them directly through their website or by phone.”
“Amazing non profit that provides a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ youth. They have several different programs that run throughout the week so there’s something for everyone. Stop & Shop makes periodic donations so there’s something to eat for those who need it. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and the space is surprisingly big and well decorated. This place deserves a lot of support from the Providence community!”

100 Houghton St, Providence“This location of Goodwill in Providence, RI is an Attended Donation Center, which means it is just for donations and does not have a store. The first time I came to this location, I wasn't sure where the to put my donations so I ran the bell at the front of the building and was informed that the drop off for donations was around the building to the right. When I got to the drop off location, there is a sign to ring the bell for service. I ran the bell and an attendant opened the door a few minutes later. I dropped off my items and he gave me a coupon for the store. Goodwill accepts items like clothing, shoes, small appliances, and furniture. Donations are sorted and then sold in one of their fifteen retail stores. The revenue from the sale of these donations helps to support the programs they offer to individuals with disabilities and other challenges in their lives. This location is open Monday to Friday: 8:00AM - 4:00PM.”
“This nursing home is a cut above the rest, they took great care of my aunt. Highly recommended by this man. Wonderful staff, good food, very clean and safety oriented. A perfect place to ensure proper care of your loved ones.”

“Visiting from out of town, had to stop by for the Waterfire Festival! It’s a fun local event, they have street performers and vendors. The atmosphere is fun thanks to the braziers and people. I haven’t been in 5 years, and there certainly was more people than I’ve ever seen. If you’re a local, I’d make the way out to waterfire just for a memorable night.”
