Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island

Next week is Giving Tuesday! When newcomers arrive, they receive limited assistance that primarily goes towards housing, phone service, and groceries, leaving minimal resources for other necessities as they work to rebuild their lives. Your generous donations help us fill these gaps, ensuring our clients receive essential items to feel comfortable in their new homes, such as personal hygiene products, appropriate clothing, and other necessities. #GivingTuesday #CommunitySupport #NonprofitOrganization #SocialImpact #NewcomerSupport #EssentialItems

Buy Nothing Day Coat Exchange RI will be set up this Friday at the State House Lawn. If you or anyone you know needs a coat or winter gear, be sure to stop by and spread the word! #BuyNothingDay #CoatExchange

Giving Tuesday is less than two weeks away!

We hope you consider giving to Dorcas International, allowing us to continue supporting those seeking to build a better life and positively impacting the greater Rhode Island community.

Thank you to Amica Insurance our community partner who shows up for us and our clients again and again! We had the pleasure of hosting the team at our Clothing Collaborative/Refugee Resource Center yesterday. Their hard work, high energy, and positive attitude allowed them to excel at every task. Thanks to their efforts, our clients working towards self-sufficiency and economic independence will have access to essential clothing, helping them enjoy a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous year ahead!
