Jules Hope Chest Brought Kindness to the East Providence Parks

Posted

Wednesday July 14th was a wonderful day in a few East Providence Parks! The Jules Hope Chest Team was so proud to celebrate the Annual Kindness in the Park Day. We distributed toys to all children who attended the Pierce Field Day Camp and at our Free Lunch Meal Sites at the Onna Moniz John/ Central Park & George Lima/ Hull Street Park! Over 200 toys were handed out to the children with the promise that they will be pledging an act of Kindness! A lot of smiles and "Thanks" were seen and heard throughout our parks during lunchtime. Thank you to all of our volunteers who made this happen. Jules Hope Chest declared the entire month of July ”Kindness” month in memory of Joseph Silva , his wife Judy and daughter Julie decided to celebrate his birthday which was July 9th and to honor him.

Jules Hope Chest is a non-profit organization that was established to provide the extra hope and enhancement of items and programs that are truly essentials of childhood. They are the items that are easily cut from budgets but we are making them our priority to allow children to just be kids and not have to worry about the needs and essentials for their childhood. We are committed to helping the most vulnerable at need children in the state of Rhode Island by providing opportunities and resources that they may otherwise not experience.

It was heartwarming to know that the youth who received a gift from our organization was excited to show kindness to others. The children of our future it will be brightened with kindness and hope. We are committed to instilling hope while enhancing the lives of children... one child at a time.
