Holiday Support

Become a beacon of hope during the holiday season.

The holiday season is a time for warmth, togetherness, and giving. It’s a time when we come together as a community to support those in need and bring joy to families who may be facing challenges. This year, Family Service of Rhode Island invites you to be a part of our Annual Holiday Support Drive – a heartfelt initiative that aims to make the holidays brighter for local families who could use a helping hand.
