As a nonprofit agency, Family Resources Community Action depends on the support and generosity of individuals, groups, businesses, foundations and government to help us fulfill our mission to strengthen families, individuals and the community. We welcome support and involvement through donations of time (volunteering), money and needed items.

Because we provide low income people with the support they need to become self sufficient, every dollar you give or hour you volunteer is returned to the community many times over.

We are currently seeking volunteers to staff kettles at store locations in Woonsocket and N. Smithfield. Funds raised through the Salvation Army Kettle campaign help provide low income families with utilities and rental assistance. For more information contact Wendy Pires at 235-6096 or wpires@famresri.org

In addition, we are always in need of foster families for both short and long-term placements, as well as families to serve as respite care providers for current foster parents.

For information about becoming a foster parent, contact Terri Killory at 401-235-6089 or tkillory@famresri.org.
