Due to the snowstorm, United Way of Rhode Island will be closed on Monday, February 23.
Our team will resume normal operations once it is safe to do so. Please stay safe and take care during the storm.
For storm-related resources and information, call 211.
As an organization, we have made the decision to take an indefinite break from X, as the platform is no longer part of our social media strategy. This decision aligns with our commitment to building a stronger and more equitable Rhode Island for all. https://t.co/ob37QmQffv
George has been a fantastic partner & dear friend to @liveunitedri for decades. We were thrilled to honor him w/ our Dante Mollo labor leadership award a few years back.

✊ Thank you, @divya__nair and @EconProgressRI, for advocating for paid family leave that works for all Rhode Islanders.
Workers in R.I. receive only 60% of their salary on leave — a cut families living paycheck to paycheck cannot afford.
