Dear Friend,
Every day, families across Rhode Island face moments that could change everything—a child entering foster care, a parent seeking help for their mental health, a family on the brink of losing their home. In these moments, Family Service of Rhode Island (FSRI) steps in to provide not only care, but hope.
We know these are unprecedented times. Programs that help our most vulnerable neighbors are stretched thinner than ever. Yet, every challenge reminds us why FSRI exists—to advance opportunity and hope in the communities we serve. Together with partners and supporters like you, we meet families where they are, offering the tools, compassion, and strength they need to move forward.
Every gift, no matter the size, becomes part of something bigger: a commitment to creating Brighter Futures across Rhode Island.
As I reflect on my 35 years with Family Service of Rhode Island, I am continually inspired by the resilience of the families we serve—and by the community that stands beside them. Your partnership fuels that hope. Together, we are creating lasting change and ensuring every child and family has the chance to thrive.
Wishing you and your family the very best, now and always.
Sincerely,
Margaret Holland McDuff
Chief Executive Officer
Family Service of Rhode Island
