A message from our founders

As we reflect on the incredible impact we made together in 2024, we are filled with gratitude for your unwavering support. 

 

Last year, we set out with a bold vision: to do more in 24. Thanks to you, we didn’t just meet that challenge — we exceeded it, and in doing so, made a real difference in the lives of thousands.

 

Here are just a few highlights of what we achieved together:

• More than 8,800 meals delivered across Rhode Island to those facing food insecurity, providing nourishment, hope, and a sense of community.

• We welcomed two new members to our Board of Directors, bringing fresh perspectives and new energy to our mission.

• We installed two new Hope Chests in Smithfield and Cranston, joining our locations in North Providence, Johnston, and Warwick, expanding our reach and ensuring more families have access to essential resources.

• 401 Gives Day was a record-breaking success, thanks to your generosity, helping us raise critical funds to support our ongoing programs.

• And, perhaps most moving of all, we were able to deliver $2,300 in grocery and restaurant gift cards to women and children survivors of domestic and sexual assault, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and support.

 

As we kick off 2025, we are excited to continue this momentum. With your continued partnership, we will deepen our impact, expand our services, and reach even more neighbors in need. 

 

The challenges remain great, but together, we will rise to meet them.

​

With Purpose & Love,

Jenn Capracotta and Jen Fantozzi
