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.

Make a donation:

Support our annual holiday support drive by making a donation to help bring joy to a family in need during this holiday season. Click here, or use the donate button above to make your donation today!

Donate a gift:

Consider donating new, unwrapped toys, clothing, or non-perishable food items. Your donations will be distributed to families who will cherish these gifts. To make things easy for our supporters, you can simply purchase from one of our Amazon Wishlist and your donation will be sent directly to us!
