Each weekday, we are delivering #MoreThanAMeal to some 1,400 homebound Rhode Islanders across the state, from Woonsocket to Westerly, bringing to their homes the nutritious meals, safety-assuring wellness checks, and socialization that they need to maintain independent living.
And that’s just part of what we do.
