Today is the day! Rhode Islanders are coming together for 401 Gives, a powerful opportunity to invest in the nonprofits that strengthen our communities.
At Family Service of Rhode Island, we meet children and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives—when they are facing crisis, trauma, homelessness, violence, or behavioral health challenges. In those moments, access to compassionate, trauma-informed services can make all the difference. It means families are met with understanding instead of judgment, and children receive the care and stability they need to begin healing and building brighter futures.
Your gift today helps ensure that these critical services remain available to thousands of Rhode Islanders each year. Every contribution—no matter the size—creates real and lasting impact.
Here are a few ways your support can help:
$50 – A Moment of Care
Provides essential supplies and comfort items for a child entering crisis care, helping them feel safe and supported during a frightening and uncertain time.
$75 – Support for Healing
Helps provide trauma-informed counseling resources that allow children and families to begin processing difficult experiences and start the path toward healing.
$150 – Strength for Families
Supports family stabilization services that help parents and caregivers access critical resources such as housing support, behavioral health services, and safety planning.
$250 – A Path Forward
Helps sustain comprehensive programs that provide long-term support—from behavioral health care and child welfare services to housing and community-based programs—ensuring families have the tools they need to thrive.
Every gift brings hope and healing to the children and families who rely on our services each day.
Please take a moment today to visit 401gives.org and make your gift to Family Service of Rhode Island before giving closes at 6:00 PM tomorrow.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
With gratitude,
Margaret Holland McDuff
Chief Executive Officer
Family Service of Rhode Island
