There are many ways to measure social impact. Our programs including Nourish Rhode Island, Food On The Move, Open Door Health, and Faith In Action benefit individuals, their communities, and address social and economic conditions that affect health.
We are helping lead the state’s response to the mpox virus crisis by offering solutions to address the outbreak. Our Open Door Health Clinic is offering testing and vaccinating the community as supply becomes available. We’re advocating for increased vaccine supply and resources to stop the spread of this virus.
We run a mobile produce market that makes healthy food accessible and affordable by bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to neighborhoods throughout Rhode Island.
Our direct service programs are informed by research, and deployed in collaboration with community partners.
