VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Your time and your talent are valuable resources. Would
you like to share a little to help us fulfill our mission?
Although COVID-19 restrictions have curtailed visits to our
centers, Children’s Friend needs volunteers all year long.
And, we’re hopeful that the COVID restrictions will be lifted
in the months to come. Whether you can only spare a few
hours, or wish to make a longer term commitment, we
welcome you! You can join one of our committees, read
to children in our classrooms, or join us in our Holiday
Drive to provide children with holiday presents and warm
clothing, just to name a few opportunities.
If you are interested in volunteering, would like to take a
tour, or want to learn more about the agency, just contact
Owen Heleen, Director of Program Development and
Innovation, at oheleen@cfsri.org, or 401-276-4300.

WISE STEWARDSHIP

OF RESOURCES

Through its long history, Children’s Friend has been
fortunate to earn the support of many who wished to
support our mission through our endowment. This
precious source of funding allows us to maintain
excellence in services even in times of limited funding
from federal, state, and local sources. We maintain that
resource through highly disciplined stewardship. We
spend no more than 5.1% of the rolling three-year market “WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGE BLOW, SOME PEOPLE BUILD
value of our endowment.
WALLS AND OTHERS BUILD WINDMILLS.”
You can support families today and well into the future
by earmarking a donation to our endowment. For more - Unknown
