Hope Neighborhood Association, African Alliance, Family Service of Rhode Island, the Chad Brown Alumni Association.

Law enforcement officers throughout Rhode Island have been invited to attend this holiday event and will bring unwrapped gifts to fulfill a wish for children, who may otherwise be forgotten this holiday season.  Our goal is “1,000 presents for 1,000 children” and to provide a positive Christmas experience for them.  This is the eighth year Rhode Island law enforcement has participated in this program.  Several Rhode Island businesses also was present with their donations of toys.
