Over the past several years, Family Service of Rhode Island has held an informational event at the Rhode Island State House to raise awareness of the agency's impact in each legislator's district.

This year's event, held Wednesday, May 30, attracted a number of legislators to the agency's display in the State Room.

It even occasionally attracts reporters.  Below NBC 10's Bill Rappleye stops by and talks issues with Senator Joshua Miller, who represents Cranston and Warwick.  Senator Miller is in his freshman term in the state senate.
