We were so excited to be a Community Partner for Salve Regina University's Day of Service. The service day was put together by Salve's Center for Community Engagement and Service. We had a team of 30 students come with a Mentor Leader to work in the MLK Island Oasis School Based Food Pantry, sort and organize fall clothing/ shoes and make back to school goodie bags for students. The team worked hard and made a huge difference in our community. We are so grateful! @salveregina

This special event is being held to support Aaron Delgado, a young 17 year old girl whose life was forever changed by a tragic accident just weeks ago in Portsmouth RI.
Aaron remains in intensive care and faces a long and challenging road of recovery, including ongoing rehabilitation, medical treatment, and major lifestyle adjustments.
As part of our fundraiser, we are hosting a full day of community activities including a morning bike run, BBQ buffet, live music, raffles, and more — all in Aaron’s honor.
All proceeds from the event will go directly toward helping Aaron and her family through this incredibly difficult time. Your support would not only be deeply appreciated — it would help remind this family that they are surrounded by love and community strength.
