Rhode Island Update:
NECHAMA has been very busy helping many flood victims who were affected by the historic Rhode Island floods these past couple of weeks. Though flood victims are slow to register, we have helped almost 20 home owners restore their homes to a healthy and clean environment so that they can rebuild.
We have been partnering with the Jewish Federation of Rhode Island and the Jewish Community Center to help feed and house our volunteers along with coordinating any other efforts that flood victims or volunteers need. We have had over 50 volunteers to date who have worked with us.
Please click on the links below to see that the RI media has been engaged in our efforts and have helped us to educate the community that help free of charge is available to those who are in need of our services

NECHAMA is planning to remain in Rhode Island until May 7th unless the situation changes. If you are available to volunteers, please contact Amy at acytron@nechama.org, if your schedule doesn’t allow for time off, your donations are very much appreciated.
