Donations Welcome

The Rhode Island Donation Exchange Program (the Furniture Bank) toasted its twentieth anniversary with a benefit, the “International Fiesta,” at the Roger Williams Park Casino. Guests enjoyed ethnic foods prepared by four local restaurants, a performance by the Ocean State Follies, and a live auction (the highest bid, $2,100, fetched a ride with Providence Police officer Rhonda Kessler). All told, the event raised $32,000 to help provide good quality furniture, household items and clothing to low-income families across the state.
